- Log in to your cPanel account.
- Under Software, click Softaculous App Installer.
- In Softaculous, open the Portal/CMS category and select Zikula.
- Click Install.
- Under Software Setup, configure the installation:
- Choose Protocol: Select the protocol you want to use. Leave the default selection if it is appropriate for your site.
- Choose Domain: Select the domain for the installation. If you have only one domain, keep the default selection.
- In Directory: Enter a directory name to install Zikula in a subdirectory, such as
example.com/directory. Leave this field blank to install it at the domain’s root.
- Under Admin Account, enter an administrator username, a strong password, and your email address. Avoid generic usernames such as
adminoradministrator.Save the username and password securely; you will need them to access the Zikula administration area.
- Review Advanced Options. Leave the defaults unless you want to change the database name or configure automated backups. Backups use disk space.
- Scroll to the bottom of the page and click Install.
