Download WordPress<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Firstly you will need to download the&nbsp;<strong>latest version of WordPress<\/strong>&nbsp;from&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/download\/\">WordPress.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/download.png\" alt=\"download from wordpress.org\" title=\"download from wordpress.org\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have downloaded the zip file you will need to extract it on your computer. In the example below we have used WinRAR to extract the folder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/extract.png\" alt=\"extract zip folder\" title=\"extract zip folder\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>2. Create your database<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next step is to create your database within your Control Panel. If you are unsure on how to do this, please use the following&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.names.co.uk\/support\/articles\/creating-a-mysql-database-on-apache-hosting\/\">guide<\/a>&nbsp;for assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/adddatabase.png\" alt=\"create your database\" title=\"create your database\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>3. Upload WordPress files<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You will now need to upload the WordPress files to your public&nbsp;<strong>\/web<\/strong>&nbsp;folder via FTP. In our case we used&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/cyberduck.io\/\">Cyberduck<\/a><\/strong>, but you can also use a different FTP client of your choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In&nbsp;<strong>Cyberduck<\/strong>&nbsp;login via FTP. Navigate to your \/web folder, and click&nbsp;<strong>Upload.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/upload1.png\" alt=\"Click Upload in Cyberduck\" title=\"Click Upload in Cyberduck\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Select the WordPress files that you extracted earlier on, and click&nbsp;<strong>Choose.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/upload2.png\" alt=\"Choose all WordPress files\" title=\"Choose all WordPress files\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The WordPress files will then be uploaded to your&nbsp;<strong>\/web<\/strong>&nbsp;folder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/upload3.png\" alt=\"Wordpress files in \/web folder\" title=\"Wordpress files in \/web folder\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>4. Run the WordPress Installer<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In a web browser simply navigate to your website.<\/strong>&nbsp;<em>If your website address is&nbsp;<strong>yoursite.com<\/strong>&nbsp;and you have uploaded the WordPress files to your root \/web folder, you simply need to enter&nbsp;<strong>yoursite.com<\/strong>&nbsp;in the address bar.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The first step will be to select your preferred language.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/step1.png\" alt=\"wordpress select language\" title=\"wordpress select language\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Next you will be prompted to enter your database credentials.
