4. In the left-hand menu, expand the Portal/CMS category and select PHP-Fusion.
5. Press Install.
6. Complete the fields in the Software Setup block:
- Choose Installation URL: Select the protocol and domain. To install into a subfolder such as example.com/directory, type the folder name in the "In Directory" field. To install on the main domain (example.com), leave that field empty.

7. In the Site Settings block, provide:
- Site Name: The name of your site, for example PHP-Fusion.
- Site Email: Your email address.
8. In the Admin Account block, provide:
- Admin Username: The username for your new PHP-Fusion site. For security, avoid the names administrator and admin.
