6. Click on the "Install" button



7. Fill the necessary field under the "Software Setup" field:

  • Choose the version you want to install: Leave this as it is.
    Choose Protocol: You can leave this as it is.
  • Choose Domain: If you don't have multiple domains, leave this as it is.
  • In Directory: If you want to install this in a directory, for example example.com/directory, enter the directory name. Otherwise, leave this blank to install in your main domain example.com

8. Under "Site Settings" field:
  • Site Name: Enter the name of your website, such as "my first website".

  • Admin Password: Use a strong password.
  • Real Name: Leave this as it is or use your full name
  • Admin Email: Your e-mail address.

Note: Copy the admin username and password on a notepad because you will need these login details to access the admin area of your Joomla Website.

11. Choose Language: You can chose the language of your Joomla. The default language of Joomla is English.

12. Advanced Options: Leave this as it is, unless you want to change the database name or take an automated backup. Please note that taking frequent backups may take a lot of disk space.


Finally, scroll down to the end of page and click on the Install Button.
