    It would be easier to just go to wordpress.org and find out yourself.....

    Here's the 5 minute install guide, but you can more details at wordpress.org

    Famous 5-Minute Install

    Here's the quick version of the instructions, for those that are already comfortable with performing such installations. More detailed instructions follow.
    1. Download and unzip the WordPress package, if you haven't already.
    2. Create a database for WordPress on your web server, as well as a MySQL user who has all privileges for accessing and modifying it.
    3. Rename the wp-config-sample.php file to wp-config.php.
    4. Open wp-config.php in a text editor and fill in your database details as explained in Editing wp-config.php to generate and use your secret key password.
    5. Place the WordPress files in the desired location on your web server:
      • If you want to integrate WordPress into the root of your domain (e.g. IANA — Example domains), move or upload all contents of the unzipped WordPress directory (but excluding the directory itself) into the root directory of your web server.
      • If you want to have your WordPress installation in its own subdirectory on your web site (e.g. IANA — Example domains), rename the directory wordpress to the name you'd like the subdirectory to have and move or upload it to your web server. For example if you want the WordPress installation in a subdirectory called "blog", you should rename the directory called "wordpress" to "blog" and upload it to the root directory of your web server.
