Many webhosts today offer scripts that make installing WordPress as easy as possible, so here we’re going to look at how you can install WordPress in only a few steps in cPanel with Softaculous. Installing WordPress manually isn’t too hard, but with Softaculous, it’s so easy anyone could do it.
This article will give you a step by step guide on how to install WordPress from your cPanel using Softaculous.

Step 2 : Scroll down to the Software/Services section, and click the Softaculous link.
Step 3 : To install WordPress, click the WordPress link on the left-hand sidebar in Softaculous.
Step 4 : This page will give you some information about WordPress, including ratings and reviews from other users. Click the Install link above the header to start the installation.
Step 5 : Now you’ll need to enter some information about your site. Softaculous will automatically fill in default settings, but you may want to customize them.
At the top of the page, you will have to select the domain where you wish to install WordPress. Select the directory to install WordPress on. By default, it will install to yourdomain.com/wp, but if you want yourdomain.com to go directly to WordPress, then leave this field blank.
