Using Softaculous to install an application
Prior to installing an application you will first need to create a database and a database user.
This can be done in your control panel.
First create a database and then create a user ( be sure to write down the user password )
Last assign the user to the newly created database giving the user all privileges.
Both the user name and database name will be prefected with your hosting account name as(accountname_databasename and accountname_username )
where accountname is your hosting account name.
You will need to enter this info in the Softaculous install application screen.
In control panel click on the Softaculous link which will bring you to the Softaculous main page.
Choose from the many applications on the left side.
If you are not sure how the application works click on the demo link.
The demo link for each application will launch the application so you can view both the front end and the administrator back end.
Choose where you want to install it.
In most cases you will wish to install it in your Public Root and if so leave the folder name input box blank.
This will make the application your main page.
Else if you want to have it in a sub folder then emter the folder name.
Follow the steps and you are done.
