Specifically, we will guide you from the most basic steps such as installing and developing Magento, or creating and managing websites through their respective functional systems.

Install Magento:

Technically, there are 2 ways for us to do this, either automatically or manually. First, we will refer to how to do it automatically.

First, open cPanel> Site Software:

Find Magento in Ecommerce section and open:

Enter the corresponding username and password of the admin account. Besides, we can also locate the directory to install Magento, leave it blank if you want the system to install it directly into the web root directory of your account. Then, click the Install button to complete the script installation. And at the last stage, the system will display the confirmation screen with the main URL, details of the Magento admin account. Besides, the Magento encryption key will also be initialized:

If you want to install Magento manually, you need to follow the following steps. First, download the latest version of Magento here, extract the corresponding software package on the hosting account via cPanel> File Manager or with the FTP Client management application. Here, there are two options to handle Magento download files:

• Put in the public_html directory , which is the main part of your entire website later. If you do so, the website will be accessed directly through the domain.
• Put inside a certain subfolder, As an example, if your domain is in yourdomainname.com , install Script in public_html / magento folder, the website will have the address:

http://yourdomainname.com/magento

After uploading the full packet, the next step is to extract the data via cPanel> File Manager, change the permissions level - Permission of Magento to 755 . Next, create a MySQL database, and assign user accounts via cPanel> MySQL Database , remember the details of this database because we will need to use it during the next installation process.. Note that the database MySQL is created with the account name - username_databasename , and is also the username of the program.

In this test, we will install Magento in the public_html / magento folder. After you upload the file, extract and create the MySQL database successfully, open the browser and type the address http://yourdomainname.com/magento:

Check the "I agree to the above terms and conditions" checkbox and click the Continue button to continue. Change the Time Zone , Locale and Currency parameters and continue:

Next, enter the database account name including: Database Name , User Name and User Password , and keep the other options unchanged. Select the check box " Skip Base URL validation before next step" as shown below:

Click Continue to continue, at this time you need to enter some personal information as well as the admin account you want to use. Leave the Encryption Key section blank if you want, and the system will generate the encrypted information for the user yourself:

After clicking Continue , please remember the encryption key displayed, this information will be used by Magento to encrypt passwords, credit cards and other account identification information.

If you do all the above steps without encountering any errors, it means that the Magento installation process has been successful.
