2. Put inside a certain subfolder, for 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:
