domain name: It would be best to have a domain name that you have already registered with an accredited domain registrar.<\/li>\n<li>A DreamHost web hosting account: Depending on your website requirements, select a hosting package that caters to your needs.<\/li>\n<li>An FTP client: To upload WordPress files to the server, you will require an FTP client.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<header>The Step-By-Step Process<\/header>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_1_Create_a_Database\"><\/span>Step 1: Create a Database<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The first step in WordPress installation involves creating a database. A database is a collection of data that stores website information such as comments, user data, posts, and pages. Below are the steps to follow to create a database.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Login to your DreamHost account.<\/li>\n<li>Navigate to the MySQL Databases section and create a database by naming it.<\/li>\n<li>Choose the database user that has access to the database.<\/li>\n<li>Click on the Create Database button.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_2_Download_WordPress\"><\/span>Step 2: Download WordPress<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The next step is to download the latest version of WordPress from the official website. Once you&#8217;ve downloaded the WordPress archive, extract it to your computer.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_3_Configure_the_wp-configphp_File\"><\/span>Step 3: Configure the wp-config.php File<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>After unzipping the WordPress archive, open the folder, and locate the wp-config-sample.php file. Rename this file to wp-config.php. Next, open the wp-config.php file in a text editor and find lines that start with define(&#8216;DB_NAME&#8217;), define(&#8216;DB_USER&#8217;), define(&#8216;DB_PASSWORD&#8217;), and define(&#8216;DB_HOST&#8217;). Substitute the placeholders with your database name, database user, database password, and localhost accordingly. Note that DreamHost doesn&#8217;t require you to input a hostname in the wp-config.php file. Finally, save the file.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_4_Upload_WordPress_Files_to_the_Server\"><\/span>Step 4: Upload WordPress Files to the Server<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>After configuring the wp-config.php file, it&#8217;s time to upload the WordPress files to the server.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Open your FTP client and connect to the server.<\/li>\n<li>Navigate to the root directory of your web hosting account.<\/li>\n<li>Upload the WordPress files to the root directory or any subdirectory of your choice. Remember that if you want WordPress to be installed in a subdirectory, create a new folder and upload the files to that folder.<\/li>\n<li>Wait for the files to upload.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_5_Run_the_Installation_Script\"><\/span>Step 5: Run the Installation Script <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>After uploading the WordPress files, it is time to run the installation script.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Open your web browser.<\/li>\n<li>Type your domain name in the address bar. If you uploaded WordPress to a subdirectory, include that in the URL (e.g. http:\/\/www.yourdomain.com\/subdirectory).<\/li>\n<li>You&#8217;ll be directed to the WordPress installation page. Choose your preferred language and click on the Continue button.<\/li>\n<li>Enter the database details you created earlier and press the Submit button.<\/li>\n<li>Click on the Run the installation button.<\/li>\n<li>Enter the site title, username, password, and email address.<\/li>\n<li>Finally, click on the Install WordPress button.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"In_Conclusion\"><\/span>In Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Installing WordPress manually on DreamHost is an uncomplicated process.
