Installing WordPress manually

WordPress can be installed in a variety of different ways, and if you don't want to use the via a host method described earlier, you will probably be interested in installing WordPress manually.

Manual installations can be useful for a number of reasons. First of all, you might want to use WordPress on a local server. Secondly, even if you're on a remote server, that server might not have any auto-install features available. This is where the manual installation comes into play.
