How to install WordPress?

The classic way is the famous 5 minute install:

1. Download WordPress from wordpress.org and unzip it.
2. Put the files in the web folder of your server (public_html or htdocs).
3. Create an empty MySQL or MariaDB database and a user.
4. Open the site address in the browser, and enter the database details.
5. Enter the site title, admin username, password and email.
6. Click Install WordPress and log in at /wp-admin.

With WP-CLI, the same install needs four commands:

wp core download
wp config create --dbname=mysite --dbuser=root --dbpass=secret
wp db create
wp core install --url=http://localhost --title="My Site" --admin_user=admin --admin_password=Strong#Pass1 --admin_email=you@example.com

Details are in WordPress Installation. Always use a strong admin password.
