On the new page you need to fill in the installation details - domain name, installation directory, administrative login details, etc. By default Softaculous will select wp and it will attempt to install the application in a sub-folder instead of the main domain. If you want the new installation to be on the main domain please leave the Directory Field blank. We also strongly advise you to change the default login details admin/admin to something else. This way you will be sure that a hacker cannot guess the login credentials. Please double check all details and then proceed to the next step.

5. To install the script scroll down to the end of the page and click the Install button. Usually all applications are installed for not more than 15-30 seconds. However, some of the apps are bigger and their installation may need some more time between 1 minute to 10 minutes.

6. When everything is configured the Softaculous installer will display a page with links to your newly installed application. Click them and you should see your new website and the administrative area of the software.
