Installing apps with Softaculous
One-click installs for WordPress and hundreds of other apps.
Softaculous installs web applications for you, creating the database and settings automatically.
- In cPanel, open Softaculous Apps Installer.
- Choose the app (for example WordPress) and click Install.
- Choose the domain, and leave the directory empty to install it at the domain itself.
- Set the site name, admin username, a strong admin password and your email.
- Click Install. When it finishes, you get the site and admin links.
Softaculous can also keep apps updated and take backups of them: see the Installations list.
