Download WordPress
On en.wordpress.org you will see a button for the download.
Right-click on this button and select "Copy link address" from the context menu (the name of this menu item may vary from browser to browser). This copies the link to the zip file to your computer's clipboard.
Then log in directly to the web server via SSH.
Create a directory for the WordPress projects:
mkdir wordpress
Change to this directory:
cd wordpress
Use the wget command and the link from your clipboard to upload the zip file directly from wpde.org to the web server:
wget https://de.wordpress.org/latest-de_DE.zip
Use the unzip command to unpack the zip archive:
unzip latest-en_DE.zip
Use the mv command to rename the unzipped directory, e.g.
mv wordpress wpprojekt1
You can choose any directory name.
Create database
WordPress requires a database to store the content (pages, blog articles).
Create a new database in your customer menu in the "MySQL databases" area. You can generate a password by clicking on the key symbol.
Optionally, you can enter the domain or project for which this database is used in the "Comment" field.
Create (sub)domain
The target path of a domain or subdomain must point to the WordPress directory on the server.
A subdomain is created as an example in the video. However, you can also have the target path of a main domain point to the WordPress directory.
You make this setting in the domain management in your customer menu.
Start the installation wizard
Now call up the (sub)domain in the browser. This will automatically start the installation wizard.
Click on the "Let's go" button on the welcome page. Then enter the access data for the database.
Important: for Database host, enter the database server from our customer menu!
Then click on "Send" and then on "Execute installation".
On the next page, enter a title for the website. You will also need to create an administrator account by entering a username, a secure password and your email address. Then click on "Install WordPress".
The installation is now complete. Further information on using and configuring WordPress can be found in the official WordPress documentation.
