- Log in to your cPanel account.
- In the Software section, click Softaculous App Installer.
- In Softaculous, open the Blogs category and select Ghost.
- Click Install.
- Under Software Setup, review the installation settings:
- Choose Protocol: Leave the default selection unless you need a different protocol.
- Choose Domain: Select the domain for the installation. If you have only one domain, keep the selected value.
- In Directory: Enter a directory name to install Ghost in a subdirectory, such as
directoryforexample.com/directory. Leave this field blank to install it at the domain root. - Data Directory: Keep the default value unless you have a specific reason to change it.
- CRON Job: Keep the default setting unless you need to change it.
- Review Advanced Options. You can change the database name or configure automated backups. Backups use disk space, so consider your storage needs.
- Scroll to the bottom of the page and click Install.
When the installation is complete, Softaculous displays the URL for your Ghost administration area.
