The Famous Five Minute Install
WordPress has a lot of different installation options, and although autoinstall is the easiest and most popular route, you may at some point need to install it manually. The good news is that manually installing WordPress is a pretty simple process and doesn’t take a lot of time.
Before you start, make sure that you’ve downloaded an FTP. FTP stands for File Transfer Program, and you do need one to be able to manually install files and transfer them. There are free and paid FTP options, but they all work basically the same.
