your preferred FTP program in the desired location on your web server: - You can install Wordpress in the
root of your domain so that Wordpress is accessible at the root (e.g.
http://yoursite.com/). To do this, Move or upload all the contents of the
unzipped Wordpress directory (don’t include the Wordpress directory
itself) into the root directory of your web server. - In the case where you want your Wordpress

can create blog directory on your server and upload Wordpress to the subdirectory
via FTP. - Run the Wordpress installation
script by accessing http://yoursite.com/wp-admin/install.php in a
web browser. - If in any case you installed Wordpress
in the root directory, you should access your site by typing the following
url: http://yoursite.com/wp-admin/install.php into your browser - If you installed Wordpress in its
own subdirectory called blog, for example, you should visit: http://yoursite.com/blog/wp-admin/install.php
