jruckmanIf you have shell access to your web server, and are comfortable using console-based tools, you may wish to download WordPress directly to your web server using wget (or lynx or another console-based web browser) if you want to avoid FTPing:
wget http://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz
Then unzip the package using:
tar -xzvf latest.tar.gz-

Using the MySQL Client
If you have shell access to your web server, are comfortable with using the command line, and your MySQL user has the permissions to create MySQL users and databases, you may follow the example session below to create your WordPress username and database.
$ mysql -u adminusername -p
Enter password:
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 5340 to server version: 3.23.54
Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.
mysql> CREATE DATABASE databasename;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON databasename.* TO "wordpressusername"@"hostname"
-> IDENTIFIED BY "password";
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)
mysql> EXIT
Bye
$In the above:
- adminusername will typically be root, unless you have another high-privileged account set up.
- wordpress or blog are good values for databasename.
- wordpress is a good value for wordpressusername.
- hostname will usually be localhost. If you don't know what this value should be, check with your system administrator. If you are the system administrator, figure out what this value should be.
- password should be a difficult-to-guess password, ideally containing a combination of upper- and lower-case letters, numbers, and symbols.
Write down the values you used for databasename, wordpressusername, hostname, and password.
- adminusername will typically be root, unless you have another high-privileged account set up.

- Download and unzip the WordPress package, if you haven't already.
- Create a database for WordPress on your web server, as well as a MySQL user who has all privileges for accessing and modifying it.
- Rename the wp-config-sample.php file to wp-config.php.
- Open wp-config.php in your favorite text editor and fill in your database details.
- Place the WordPress files in the desired location on your web server:
- If you want to integrate WordPress into the root of your domain (e.g. http://example.com/), move or upload all contents of the unzipped WordPress directory (but excluding the directory itself) into the root directory of your web server.
- Download and unzip the WordPress package, if you haven't already.
-
- Run the WordPress installation script by accessing wp-admin/install.php in your favorite web browser.
- If you installed WordPress in the root directory, you should visit: http://example.com/wp-admin/install.php

If you are using a hosting provider, you may already have a WordPress database set up for you, or there may be an automated setup solution to do so. Check your hosting provider's support pages or your control panel for clues about whether or not you'll need to create one manually.
If you determine that you'll need to create one manually, follow the instructions for accessing phpMyAdmin on various servers, or follow the instructions for Using cPanel or Using phpMyAdmin below.
-
Step 3: Set up wp-config.php
For the next part, the code you will be looking to change is as follows:
// ** MySQL settings ** //
define('DB_NAME', 'wordpress'); // The name of the database
define('DB_USER', 'username'); // Your MySQL username
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'password'); // ...and password
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost'); // 99% chance you won't need to change this value- Returning to where you extracted the WordPress package in Step 1, rename the file wp-config-sample.php to wp-config.php.
- Open the renamed wp-config.php file in your favorite text editor and fill in the following information, per the example above:
- DB_NAME
- The name of the database you created for WordPress in Step 2 .
- DB_USER
- The username you created for WordPress in Step 2.
- DB_PASSWORD
- The password you chose for the WordPress username in Step 2.
- DB_HOST
- The hostname you determined in Step 2 (usually localhost, but not always).
- Save the file.
- Returning to where you extracted the WordPress package in Step 1, rename the file wp-config-sample.php to wp-config.php.
-
- In the root directory of your web site. (For example, http://example.com/)
Now you will need to decide where on your web site you'd like your blog to appear:
-
Installing WordPress Locally
If you have a sufficiently powerful home computer and a sufficiently fast broadband connection, you may want to avoid certain hosting charges by using your own computer as a server. The following tutorials will show you how to setup a server environment and install WordPress on your home computer.
-
f you installed into the root directory of your web site, you would visit http://example.com/wp-admin/install.php.
-
- If you need to upload your files to your web server, use your favorite FTP client to upload all the contents of the wordpress directory (but not the directory itself) into the root directory of your web site.
In the Root Directory
-
Step 5: Run the Install Script
Using your favorite web browser, visit wp-admin/install.php within the directory into which you just installed WordPress on your web site.
