3 Methods on How to Install Joomla

Since the year 2005, Joomla has branched out and path the way for end users who want to create websites easily without learning programming languages like HTML, PHP or database languages. If you have been a Webmaster who rely heavily on coding to create websites, you may find some motivation to switch to this user-friendly Content Management System (CMS). However, if you are entirely new to web development and is looking for a software (particularly free) that helps you to create website easily, Joomla is the solution you will love. In this article, I will share 3 ways on how you can install Joomla and start using this powerful CMS.

The first method, which is also the easiest, is to install Joomla directly using a widely popular software, CPanel. Most web hosting companies provide CPanel as an interface for you to manage your hosting. An average hosting plan for Joomla requirement would cost around $10 per month. Once you have sign up yourself a web hosting account, you can log into the CPanel and access an option known as fantastico. You will find Joomla 1.5 as a selection once you click on the fantastico link.

After selecting the Joomla 1.5 option, all you need to do is to follow the wizard and enter your user name and password. This is the easiest method to install Joomla because you do not even have to bother about the creation of database as it is created automatically for you. I strongly recommend this method for beginners.

The second method is what I call the manual install. This is how most users install Joomla on their servers especially if their servers do not support CPanel. This second method is pretty complicated and the complete steps can be found in the official Joomla website. To sum it up, you can follow the steps below as a general guide:

1. Download the latest Joomla version from Joomla.org.
2. Upload the zip file to your server and unzip it.
3. Create a database and grant it a user with full privileges.
4. Access your website URL and follow the installation wizard.

The final method is meant for people who wants to test out Joomla in their local computers before putting it up live in the Internet. For this method, you would need to install a server in your computer because Joomla cannot run solely on a browser. An easy approach is to download XAMPP and install this software in your computer. XAMPP will create a server environment and allows you to run Joomla without any problems. There are also other alternatives for server installation but so far I find that XAMPP does a pretty good job overall. It is also easy to pick up and does not require much technical knowledge. However, please be warned that if you are not a IT savvy person, it is difficult for you to handle XAMPP unless you are wiling to put in a significant amount of time to learn.

In conclusion, I would recommend you to try out the first method especially if you have access to a server with CPanel software. Joomla installation can be quite frustrating especially when you do not know what went wrong. I hope that this article will help you out in deciding a suitable approach for your Joomla installation.
