But the great thing about WordPress is that you can either get a free hosted blog or you can download the software and run it on your own server for free.\u00a0 Many webhosts today offer scripts that make installing WordPress as easy as possible, so here we\u2019re going to look at how you can install WordPress in only a few steps in cPanel with Softaculous. Installing WordPress manually isn\u2019t too hard, but with Softaculous, it\u2019s so easy anyone could do it.<\/p>\n

This article will give you a step by step guide on how to install\u00a0WordPress from your cPanel using Softaculous.<\/p>\n

WordPress_info<\/p><\/div>\n

Step 5 : <\/strong>Now you\u2019ll need to enter some information about your site.\u00a0 Softaculous will automatically fill in default settings, but you may want to customize them.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

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<\/em>, but if you want yourdomain.com<\/em> to go directly to WordPress, then leave this field blank.<\/p>\n

Step 6 : <\/strong>Now enter a name and description for your site, as well as an administrative username, password, and email.\u00a0 If you\u2019d like a more secure password, click the key logo and a random generated password will be entered in the field.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

If you\u2019d like a record of your site\u2019s settings, enter your email in the bottom field under the Install button.\u00a0 Finally, when you\u2019re finished, click Install.<\/p>\n

Step 7 : <\/strong>You will then get a confirmation page of your installation.<\/p>\n

Step 8 :<\/strong> Click the link to go to the WordPress admin page, or simply browse to yourdomain.com\/wp-login.php<\/em>. You must now use the login name (username) and password that you had set during the installation.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Step 9 : <\/strong>The first time you login, WordPress may prompt you to change your password.\u00a0 Since you just choose the password for your site, this step is unnecessary. Click No Thanks, Do not remind me again<\/em> to chose this notification.<\/p>\n

Step 10 : <\/strong>Now you can add posts and pictures, change the theme, and customize the settings of your WordPress site directly from the WordPress Dashboard:<\/p>\n
