Step 4: Install Joomla
- Visit the domain of the website. If you upload the files to a subfolder, add the subfolder name to the end of the domain.
- You’ll see the Joomla installation script open.
- Fill in the fields, then click Next.

Fill in the database name as well.
For both of the above, be sure to copy the full name (including the account prefix – i.e. the part before the underscore).
The rest of the fields can be left at their defaults. If a connection can’t be made, ask your web host if any of these should be changed. In most cases, the default will work well though.
Click Next when ready.

Finally, use the “Remove installation folder” feature when done.
