Softaculous is a cPanel plugin that allows you to easily install many ready-made scripts (software). It contains 200+ PHP scripts for free. In this article, we will provide information about how to set up a website infrastructure in a few steps using Softaculous on cPanel.
How to Install a Website with Softaculous?
First, we log in to cPanel, then click on the menu called Softaculous.

After loading, the Home Page shown in the image above greets you.
Download the WordPress package from the welcome screen that opens.

Then upload the files inside the zip to public_html using a program like Filezilla or via the File Manager on cPanel.
After this operation, we will encounter a message like the one below. Let us click the “Create Configuration File” button.

If we encounter a screen like the one below, we have done our operations correctly.

Now we can create a database through cPanel.

When a page like the one below appears, enter the Database name, Database Username and Database password; leave other values as they are.

Click the button that says we can now start the installation.
Here, enter your site login password, username, site title and click the “Install WordPress” button.

After this point, your WordPress site is installed.
For login;

or
www.yoursiteaddress.com/wp-login.php
you can log in. After logging into the panel, you can find new WordPress themes and change them. You can make post entries from the Posts section and add Categories. You can create pages such as contact and about us from the Pages section. You can install and purchase themes and make changes on them. You can improve your site by installing social media plugins, SEO plugins, etc. from the Plugins section. Most of the remaining additional features depend on your coding knowledge. WordPress also has a nice panel for editing codes; you can go directly to the Editor section in the Appearance tab to view and modify the contents of the files inside your theme.
