Now in order to do the WordPress install you are going to need some information and you'll probably
need that information from your hosting company.
You were going to go to your domain that com and when I say your domain.
That's obviously the domain where you're going to be putting your WordPress site dot com or dot net
or whatever your domain is and you're going to type in forward slash see panel.
Now you'll then be prompted for a hosting password and a hosting user name.
Now you may have to get that information again from your host.
And then once you have it you want to enter that information into the log in screen and then you'll
be brought to the C panel screen and I'll show you that right now you are now looking at C panel.
And typically what you want to do is you'll want to scroll down through C panel and you want to look
in the software and services for an icon that says Fantastico deluxe.
Now you might see other icons you may not see Fantastico you may see something different.
You want to make sure that when you click inside a Fantastico or whatever your software service is that
you're going to see WordPress.
So we're going to go ahead and click Fantastico deluxe.
Now and we get there you're going to notice that you have lots of installations that you could do.
But the one we're going to be most concerned with is going to be Wordpress and you'll see that right
there on the left side menu now that you're ready to start installing your Web site.
You're going to go and click WordPress
WordPress is going to give you the option to start a new installation and that is what you were going
to do.
You're going to click this link that says new installation when you do that then WordPress is going
to give you some options.
It's going to allow you to install Wordpress in a sub directory and you can certainly do that.
And that's one of the benefits of being able to use fantastico.
And even using Wordpress we could theoretically install Wordpress across our domain in many sub directories
but in this particular case we're just going to focus on one when you come to the screen.
You are going to be given a choice by WordPress to either install Wordpress in the domain where it will
be the root domain or you can install it in a sub directory if you want to install it in a sub directory
all you'll need to do is you'll need to put the sub directory here where it says install in directory.
If you just wanted to be installed on the domain name you want WordPress to take up the entire domain.
Then all you need to do is just leave this blank and then continue to process.
Now what you want to do right now is that you are then going to want to put a user name for the administrator
and this is what's going to allow you to log into wordpress as well as a password and then you're going
to give your admin a nickname.
So this is what your admin will appear as when you're posting on your WordPress site you're going to
write in an email address and you want this email address to be one where you get mail or that you don't
have a lot of problems with spam because you do want to get things WordPress if something is happening
with the site and there is a way for you to be notified you want to make sure that that email address
is one that works writing in the site name.
Obviously we're going to write in the site name but this is something that we can we can change later
as well as a description here.
Now for purposes of this tutorial what I'm going to do is I'm going to create a directory and I'm going
to call it test WP Directory OK.
You can install it in a directory if you want and again you can just install it across the entire domain.
So let's go ahead and type some information here so I have a test directory.
I'm also going to write in an administrator name and I'm going to write in a password an administrator
nickname.
OK I've now written in some information there.
And what I'm going to do now is I'm actually going to go ahead and put a site name in here.
I'm just going to call it test directory
and then I'm going to give it a description test for wordpress course
once we've done that.
Then we can actually click the button to install Wordpress and that is what we're going to do right
now you're now going to be given an intermediate step that you can click.
Finished installation and that's all you're gonna have to do
and then once you've done that then WordPress is going to be installed and what you're going to want
to do then is you're going to want to go to your directory so that you can log in we can then write
in our user name and our password and then we can just click a log in.
Then once we log in we are now inside of our WordPress dashboard and we're now ready to start working
on our site OK.
So with that thanks and I will see you in another video.
