    What server do you use? Use ftp to upload joomla package and install. If you need step by step help vist joomla forum. They are really helpful.

    Have a look at your hosting package and see if it has a installer for Joomla. Alternative, unzip and upload the latest version to your server and browse to the install directory where you'll be taken through the install steps.

    Have a read of this before looking at Joomla:

    Ok, you have to have a MySQL Database for joomla, first of all. If you've got one, then you're all set!


    1. Unzip the package locally, unless your server has an unzip feature. If it doesn't, I still recommend uploading the zipped package, then visitiong http://www.net2ftp.com/ and logging into your server there, and using their unzip feature. It's much faster than uploading all the files individually.

    2. Once you've completed uploading all the files and extracting, the next step is to browse to your URL. When you do that you should come to a Joomla! Installation page.

    3. Pretty much follow the on screen directions. Joomla! is pretty easy to install, and each page tells you everything you need to do!

    If you need more help, visit Joomla!'s website and look at their FAQ. If you still are having problems, PM me and i'll see if I can help you further.

    just log onto your Cpanel.
    Scroll down to Joomla and click on it
    Click on "new installation"

    Then just select your domain and proceed. This is an automatic way of installing it, and does everything for you!

    Does this work?

    looks like you rec plenty of help...

    It's quite easy - if you setup WP before - joomla is not so different

    If you have cpanel - login - hit fantastico - and click on joomla for a 1-click install
