WordPress can be installed in various ways. I present several methods.
Install WordPress via 1-Click Installation
With the 1-Click Installer, you can install WordPress in just a few seconds.
- Open the Control Panel
- Click on “Applications”
- Select the latest WordPress version and click “Install”
- Choose your domain from the dropdown menu
- Select “https” for the protocol
- Enter your email address
- Generate a secure password
That’s it!
The installation will be completed in the background.
In just a few moments, you can access your new WordPress website.
Manually Install WordPress
Even without the 1-Click Installer, you can download and install WordPress using the following two methods.
Create a Database
Create a new (empty) database in the Control Panel and temporarily note the access credentials you will need later:
- Database name
- Database user
- Database password
Configure Domain
Go to the Control Panel and select the subdirectory wordpress/ in the Domain Management section.
Download WordPress
Method 1: Download WordPress Locally
- Download the latest version of WordPress from the official website.
- Extract the file locally on your computer.
- Upload the extracted archive to the server via FTP into the web directory.
- Set the corresponding directory in Domain Management from the Control Panel.
Method 2: Download WordPress via SSH
- Navigate to the web server directory
cd ~/www/
- Download WordPress
wget https://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz
- Unzip WordPress
tar -xzvf latest.tar.gz
- Verify
Check if the archive was correctly extracted and if the extracted content is located in the subdirectory wordpress/.
ls
- Clean up installation
Remove the installation file that is no longer needed.
rm latest.tar.gz
Start manual WordPress installation
To install WordPress, open your domain URL in the web browser.
The WordPress installer will start.
Enter the database credentials you noted earlier.
The WordPress installation will be completed after entering the data.
