For the most part, you tell the installer where you want Joomla 2.5 installed (such as the specific directory or domain), and the installer will complete all of the necessary installation steps (see the list to the left).<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><a name=\"installation-steps\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Joomla 2.5 Installation Steps:<\/h2>\n<p>In this tutorial, we will show you how to manually install Joomla 2.5. At the time of this writing, Joomla 2.5 is the latest version of Joomla available for use.<\/p>\n<ol class=\"article_list\">\n<li>As Joomla requires a database, the first step is to <strong>setup a database<\/strong>. Not only is a database required, but we will need to setup a database user as well. Using the MySQL Database Wizard in your cPanel will guide you through setting up a database and a database user. For more help with setting up a database using the MySQL Database Wizard, please see <a href=\"\/support\/\">How do I create a MySQL database in cPanel?<\/a>In our example, we used the MySQL Database Wizard and created the following:<br>\n<table class=\"article_table\" border=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th>Database Name:<\/th>\n<td>inmoti6_j25<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Database User:<\/th>\n<td>inmoti6_j25user<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Database Password:<\/th>\n<td>j25pass<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/li>\n<li>After your database is setup, your next step is to <strong>download Joomla 2.5 to your computer<\/strong>. Visit joomla.org\/download.html and click the \u201cZIP\u201d link next to \u201cFull Package\u201d.<\/li>\n<li>Now that you have download joomla, <a href=\"\/support\/edu\/cpanel\/how-to-upload-a-file-using-file-manager-in-cpanel\/\">upload the ZIP file using cPanel<\/a> ( Joomla_2.5.1-Stable-Full_Package.zip in our example ) to the root of where you want Joomla installed. For example, if you are installing Joomla on your main domain, upload the zip file to your public_html directory.<\/li>\n<li>When you have uploaded the Joomla ZIP file, <a href=\"\/support\/edu\/cpanel\/compressing-uncompressing-files\/\">use cPanel to extract the zip file<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Now that you have the Joomla files in your account, visit your website in your browser to <strong>access the installation page<\/strong>.
