Tweet This Article!In this part of the Joomla video tutorial, you will learn how to install Joomla 1.5 on your website. This usually takes about 1-2 minutes once you know how and is by far the simplest, fastest and easiest way to install the Joomla CMS on your own website.
So, here is the step by step process for installing the Joomla CMS on your own website (as outlined and explained in my video below)
Log in to your hosting account's Control Panel. This should usually be http://www.mydomainname.com/controlpanel, where 'mydomainnane' is replaced your own website that is hosted on that hosting account.
Look for the smiley icon that says"Fantastico" and click on it. This is where you will be installing the Joomla package from. Note: Sometimes, it may say "Fantastico"or "Fantastico De Luxe". Don't worry it is the same thing. Much like saying"my room" and "my bedroom" ;)
Look for "Joomla 1.5" under the "Content Management" category of scripts in Fantastico and click on it.
Look for the hyperlinked blue "New Installation" and make sure you have at least as much as the minimum disk space required for installing Joomla on your website. This is usually 24.54 MB of disk space.
Not usually a problem with most people's disk space running into the tens of gigabytes. But it is still good to make sure you have enough to hold a new Joomla installation.
Choose where on your website you want to install Joomla. Will it be on your main domain, an existing subdomain or a new not-yet-existing subdomain or directory. Indicate it in the part of this installation window as needed.
Fill out other required fields that are required to smoothly install Joomla 1.5 on the site. This includes creating an Admin username and password (don't choose 'Admin' and 'password'
Then click the "Install Joomla 1.5" button.
), site name or main keyword, email address, etc.On the next page, make sure that all the needed information is correct. Also, note down your Admin username, password and backend page (the one that ends with /administrator).
Finally, hit that "Finish Installation" of a button.
Voila! You have just learned how to install Joomla 1.5 on your website. This should usually take only 1 or 2 minutes at most. After all, all you are doing is just hitting buttons, except for when choosing a username, etc.
If it still sounds a little like "nerd talk" (with all due respect to all the nerds out there 
),supplement this by watching this video tutorial and see if you can learn how to insert Joomla after that.
