Software and Services > Softaculous

Before proceeding with an installation you can also learn more about product's features, see screenshots and a demo version.
Installation form
- Choose Protocol - if you have SSL installed, choose SSL from the drop-down menu; mostly used with shopping carts.
- In directory - if you want a software to be available via mysite.com leave the field blank. In case you type a directory name, Softaculous will automatically create it and install a script there, thus a software will be available via mysite.com/directory
- Table Prefix - all of your databases have the following name format
cpaneluser_databasename
cpaneluser - is table prefix.
By default Softaculous sets software abbreviation as table prefix, but there is no need to change it to your cPanel account name. It will be done automatically.
- Admin Account details are the login details to a software back-end area. Apart from cPanel (which is purposed for hosting account management), you will have a separate admin panel to manage a software you install: add content, manage themes, etc.
Hit 'Install' to be redirected to 'Congratulations!' page with a link to navigate your newly built site. Simple and easy.
