There are two ways to install Joomla on your hosting account. The easiest and preferred method is through the Fantastico tool in your cPanel.
You can learn more about cPanel from our cPanel Tutorial. It requires no technical skills and your Joomla website will be set after just few clicks.
On the other hand you can install Joomla manually. This method is preferred by advanced users who want to follow closely the installation process and make any customizations right away.If you feel comfortable with FTP, and have basic understanding of file permissions, databases and web technologies as a whole, you can install Joomla manually.
