<ol>
<li>Download the latest release of ClassicPress from our <a
href="https://link.classicpress.net/releases/">releases page</a>.</li>
<li>Unzip the package in an empty directory and upload all the files to your server using a remote connection
method such as SSH, SFTP, or FTP.</li>
<li>Open <span class="file"><a href="wp-admin/install.php">wp-admin/install.php</a></span> in the browser. It
will take you through the process to set up a <code>wp-config.php</code> file with the database connection
details.
<ol type="a">
<li>If for some reason this doesn’t work: Open up <code>wp-config-sample.php</code> with a text
editor and fill in the database connection details.</li>
<li>Save the file as <code>wp-config.php</code> and upload it.</li>
<li>Open <span class="file"><a href="wp-admin/install.php">wp-admin/install.php</a></span> in the
browser.</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>Once the configuration file is set up, the installer will set up the tables needed for the website. If there
is an error, double check the <code>wp-config.php</code> file, and try again. If it fails again, please go

with as much data as you can gather.</li>

username, it will be <code>admin</code>.</li>
<li>The installer should then go to the <a href="wp-login.php">login page</a>. Sign in with the username and
password you chose during the installation. If a password was generated, it is possible to change it by
clicking on the username in the top right corner after signing in. It is also possible to reach this Profile
