How to Install WordPress
Installing WordPress is easy and only takes a few minutes. You can install WordPress on your own web server or with a web hosting provider. We recommend using a web hosting provider such as WP Engine or SiteGround as they offer great features and support for WordPress websites.
If you want to install WordPress on your own web server, follow these instructions:
Download the latest version of WordPress from https://wordpress.org/download/.
Unzip the downloaded file on your computer. Upload the unzipped files to your web server using FTP. Create a database for WordPress on your web server. Run the WordPress installation script by accessing www.example.com/wp-admin/install.php in a web browser (replace www.example.com with your domain name). Follow the instructions on screen to complete the installation process.”
