But, because of its popularity, experienced people have developed a variety of browser applications that can install WordPress for you just through a few user-friendly steps. In this tutorial, we are going to show you how to install WordPress manually and also how to do it by using one of the most popular installers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Installing WordPress manually with Softaculous<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Installing WordPress manually anywhere (advanced)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Installing WordPress manually with Softaculous<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Softaculous is one of the most popular script libraries that allows users to quickly install various commercial and open-source software without any technical knowledge. Among more than fifty applications available with the free version, WordPress can be found in the first position.<br>Since Softaculous needs an administrator area like cPanel to work properly, the first thing to do is to log in to cPanel:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Go to https:\/\/www.yourdomain.com\/cpanel, https:\/\/www.yourdomain.com:2083 or https:\/\/server-ip-address:2083<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enter username and password.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click on the \u201cLogin\u201d button.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/firstsiteguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/cpanel-login.jpg\" alt=\"cPanel login\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After a successful login, try not to get intimidated by the dimensions of cPanel. This control panel usually contains numberless settings that grant you access to everything server related. Just for now, forget about all other options and focus on the Softaculous installer that will help you install WordPress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To find the Softaculous tab, please scroll all the way down (in most cases, Softaculous will be one of the last tabs in cPanel) and open the WordPress script.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are interested in the details, you can switch between tabs to see screenshots, demo, ratings, and more about the WordPress script on the installer. When ready, click on the \u201cInstall Now\u201d button or switch to the first \u201cInstall\u201d tab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Software setup<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/firstsiteguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/software-setup.jpg\" alt=\"Software setup\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Choose a protocol that will be used for your new site. By default, the setting will show the HTTP protocol. But if you have an SSL certificate for your site to make it more secure, you should choose HTTPS protocol here. You can also decide if you are going to use \u201cwww\u201d in front of the address. If you are not sure about all this, ask your provider for details or simply leave the HTTP protocol for now as you can to change these details later on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Select the domain on which you want to install WordPress. If this is your first site, you probably have just that one domain that you purchased so keep it selected. But in case you have more than one domain, be careful when deciding where to install WordPress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pick a directory where you want to install the files. To install WordPress in the root directory, leave this field empty. If this is the only site you are going to have on the server, we suggest leaving this field empty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Site Settings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/firstsiteguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/site-settings.jpg\" alt=\"Site settings\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Choose a name for your site and give it a short description. Since these are options that you can quickly change in your WordPress settings at any time, don\u2019t stress too much about what to write.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you plan on activating a WordPress Multisite, this is the place to check the box. If you don\u2019t know what a multisite is and this is the first WordPress blog you\u2019re creating, just leave the option unchecked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Admin Account<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/firstsiteguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/admin-account.jpg\" alt=\"Admin account\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Quickly create the admin account that will enable you to log into your site and start working on it. We suggest to replace the standard \u201cadmin\u201d username for security reasons and choose a unique one that will represent you. Use your name or nickname for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Generate a password for your profile and make sure that you keep it private. If you are not creative enough to come up with a strong password, click on the little key icon on the right side. WordPress will then automatically generate a strong password that contains various letters, numbers, and characters in order to create a secure password that\u2019s hard to guess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before adding your email address in the next field, make sure to remember or write down the username and password as you will need to use them to log into the blog after the installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Choose language<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/firstsiteguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/choose-language.jpg\" alt=\"Choose language\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Although English is the default language for WordPress, you can change it here. Select any other language available from the list if you want to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Select Plugin(s)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/firstsiteguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/select-plugins.jpg\" alt=\"Select plugins\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Softaculous installer might offer one or several plugins that can be installed simultaneously with WordPress. We suggest that you skip this option as you can always <a href=\"https:\/\/firstsiteguide.com\/install-wordpress-plugin\/\" data-lasso-id=\"1525\">install plugins<\/a> manually. But if there\u2019s a plugin that you have previously used on other sites and want to continue using, tick the box next to its name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Advanced Options<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/firstsiteguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/advanced-options.jpg\" alt=\"Advanced options\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>These extra options affect the databases that WordPress uses to function properly. By default, Advanced Options will be hidden. If you are a beginner and don\u2019t understand these options, we suggest skipping them altogether.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here you can write a custom database name and prefix. However, the ones that Softacoulus generates are more than adequate and safe to use, so there\u2019s no need to change them.<br>If you don\u2019t want to receive notifications about updates, choose that option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The installer allows you to select options to automatically upgrade WordPress, plugins, and themes. While it might sound like a good idea, we strongly suggest keeping these options unchecked. Automatic updates may sometimes cause problems, and you may lose all modifications that you\u2019ve done to specific themes and plugins. You can always turn them back on if you need to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Choose a backup location (we suggest leaving the default one) and select if you want the installer to generate backups of your site automatically. If you have the option, feel free to check it. Once you decide how often you want to create backups, you can relax knowing that you can periodically revert to old settings just in case something bad happens to your site. If you select a number next to the backup rotation, Softaculuos will keep track of the number of backups. If the limit is reached, the oldest backup will be automatically deleted to make room for the new one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Select theme<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/firstsiteguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/select-theme.jpg\" alt=\"Select theme\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even before installing WordPress, the application lets you choose a theme that will become active on the new blog. While you can choose one here, this is optional as you can always <a href=\"https:\/\/firstsiteguide.com\/install-wordpress-theme\/\" data-lasso-id=\"1526\">install new themes<\/a> via WordPress at any time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Install<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/firstsiteguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/install-button.jpg\" alt=\"Install button\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before clicking on the \u201cInstall\u201d button, go through all of the options one more time and confirm that every piece of information is correct. Then scroll back down, enter your email address if you want to receive confirmation, and click the button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You are now free to navigate to http:\/\/yoursite.com where you should see the new website. To log in to your site with the admin credentials you created, please open http:\/\/yoursite.com\/wp-admin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"manually-advanced\">Installing WordPress manually anywhere (advanced)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike using the installer that does practically everything for you, it is possible to install WordPress on your own. It only takes a few steps to install WordPress manually, but it is just a little bit more complicated than using an installer like Softaculous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the process of manual installation can be divided into a few segments, let\u2019s go one step at a time to make everything easier. Ready?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Download the latest version of WordPress<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/firstsiteguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/download-latest-wordpress.jpg\" alt=\"Download Latest WordPress\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Go to <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/download\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"1527\">WordPress.org\/download<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click on the blue \u201cDownload WordPress\u201d button.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Save the latest version of WordPress to any location on your computer.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wait for the download to complete.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Extract the ZIP file (you should have one folder named \u201cWordPress\u201d).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Upload WordPress to your server<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This step requires you to connect to the FTP server. Before connecting, you should have FTP credentials from your hosting provider. Usually, you will receive all of these details in the welcoming email once you register an account with a hosting company. If you can\u2019t find the email, the information should be available in cPanel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/firstsiteguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/ftp-accounts-cpanel.jpg\" alt=\"FTP accounts in cPanel\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Visit https:\/\/www.yourdomain.com:2083 or https:\/\/server-ip-address:2083.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Log in to cPanel.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Navigate to Files category.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Open FTP accounts tool.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Scroll down to the list of all FTP accounts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Find the admin FTP account.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click \u201cConfigure FTP Client\u201d to see the credentials.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don\u2019t have an FTP account, you can create one from the same page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you have the credentials ready, it is time to upload WordPress files to a new server:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Open <a href=\"https:\/\/filezilla-project.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"1528\">FileZilla<\/a> or any other FTP client.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Connect to FTP server.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select all files from the \u201cWordPress\u201d folder you downloaded and extracted earlier.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Drag selected files from the computer to a \u201cpublic_html\u201d or \u201cwww\u201d folder located on the server.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Create a MySQL Database<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>WordPress uses databases to manage your content. So, to make everything work, the next step is to create a MySQL Database and User:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/firstsiteguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/add-new-user.jpg\" alt=\"Add new user\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Go to cPanel: http:\/\/yourdomainname.com\/cpanel.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Open MySQL Databases.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enter the Database name of your choice.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click on the \u201cCreate database\u201d button.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Scroll down to MySQL Users interface.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enter a username, password and click the \u201cCreate User\u201d button.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Completing the installation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the last step. You will need to input a few details about the database and your site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/firstsiteguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/how-to-install-wordpress-manually.gif\" alt=\"How to install WordPress manually\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Open a browser and go to http:\/\/yourdomain.com.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select the language you want to use for the site.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Prepare the following information: database name, username, and password you created.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The host should stay \u201clocalhost\u201d for most hosting companies.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Choose any table prefix or leave the default one.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click the \u201cLet\u2019s go\u201d button.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enter all the details about your database and click \u201cSubmit\u201d.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click the \u201cRun the Install\u201d button.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enter the title of your site, choose a username and password for WordPress login. Fill in the email address and check whether you want search engines to index your new website.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click \u201cInstall WordPress\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Log in and enjoy your new site<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"conclusion\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although installing WordPress might seem complicated, the truth is that everyone is capable of starting a blog on their own. Whether you decide to use an installer like Softaculous or to transfer the files manually, you should have the new site up and running in a matter of minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After WordPress is installed, the fun can begin and you can start customizing the website in detail.
