Certainly, here are the simple step-by-step instructions that will guide you to install WordPress in cPanel using the Softaculous installer.

• After you are done with your login, click the Softaculous Apps Installer under the software section.

  • Select the protocol for your website, whether you want HTTP or HTTPS.
  • Choose the domain name on which you want to install WordPress by selecting it from the drop-down menu.

  • Next, enter your site's name and description. Set a username and password for your admin account. Enter your email address for administrative purposes.

• In the Select Theme box, you can select the theme you want, or you can proceed later after your installation.
