This tutorial will demonstrate how to use the GreenGeeks App Installer to install WordPress on your domain.

Start by logging into your GreenGeeks account. Locate the domain that you wish to install WordPress on and click on the Manage button next to it.
On the left-panel, click on Site and select the App Installer option.
Installing WordPress
You will now be in the GreenGeeks App Installer. If you already have applications installed, they will appear in a list on this page. Click on the Install Apps button.
In the Application field, use the drop-down to select WordPress. It is alphabetical, so it should be at the bottom.
Below this should be the protocol and domain name, which is already entered. This is followed by the Installation path, which should be fine by default, but you can change it if needed. Finally, you will need to enter an Admin Username and Password for your WordPress account.
Be sure to pick a strong password that contains Upper & Lower case letters, numbers, and symbols. You can also use the Generate button to generate a strong password. Make sure to write this information down, as you will need it to log into WordPress when the installation is complete.
To finish, click on the Install Application button.
This will begin the installation process. When it is finished, you will see WordPress added to the list of Installed Applications.
You can now access your WordPress install at anytime by clicking on the Dashboard button next to the install and entering the login information you created earlier.
