12. How to install WordPress MU from Softaculous

WordPress MU, or Multi-User, is different from WordPress in that it allows you to run multiple blogs with a single installation.

1) Click WordPress MU.

This Overview page shows you information about the software before installing.

2) Click Install.

The default settings here should work for most purposes.

If you have multiple domains on one account, you can select where to install.

The next two boxes let you set the directory and database name which will be created upon installation.

You can set the Site Name and Description here. These can be changed later from the admin panel of the software.

Enter the admin password and email. Note that the admin username must be left as admin.

3) Click Install.

After a moment, the software will be installed.

4) To view your new site, click this link.

Here is our new blog, ready to be used.
