To download WordPress:

  2. Click on the "Download WordPress" button to download the latest version of WordPress
  3. Extract the downloaded zip file using the tar command: tar -xvf wordpress-.tar.gz
  4. Upload the extracted WordPress files to your Indian server using SFTP or SCP

Step 3: Configure WordPress

After uploading WordPress to your Indian server, you need to configure the files to connect to your database.

To configure WordPress:

  1. Open the wp-config.php file in a text editor and fill in your database credentials
  2. Save the wp-config.php file and upload it back to your Indian server
  3. Visit your website's URL in a web browser to initiate the WordPress installation process
