After selecting the ‘Install’ button, you will be presented with the installation options. You will see on the image below, several options will need to be completed to complete the process. A brief breakdown of these options:
- Installation Path – Choose your domain name and if you wish to install this WordPress install to a folder, then add the name of the folder you would like to install to. If this will be your main website, then leave the ‘installation directory’ blank.
- Website Title – Add a title for your website in this field. As an example, if your business sells computers in London, then the title could be ‘Number 1 for Affordable and Reliable PC’s in London’. You can also leave this blank and add a title later.

If adding your own password, make sure that it is a strong password, aim for a length of at least 12-16 characters, and include a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Tip: You can use the ‘Generate’ button to create a new password for you, and then you can add a few more characters to strengthen it.
