How to install WordPress via FTP
Note. The following instructions are written using the FileZilla FTP client as an example and assume that you have already added your site to it, which will run on WordPress. You can download and install this program at https://filezilla-project.org/. It is also necessary to understand what is site and database hosting.
Download the latest version of the engine from the link https://wordpress.org/latest.zip.
Extract the downloaded zip archive to your PC hard drive.
Connect using FileZilla to the site. In the lower right window, go to the root directory of the site, and in the lower left - to the directory with the files and folders of the unpacked archive of the engine. Select all files and directories (Ctrl + A), right-click on them and select "Unload". If the message "The final file already exists" appears, select the "Overwrite" radio button, select the "Always use this action" checkbox, and click "OK".
While the files are being copied, create the database. How to do this is described above.
After the engine files and directories are copied to the server, proceed to install WordPress. To do this, open the domain of the site in the browser, select the language and click "Continue".
Click the "Next!" button, enter the data of the previously created database, specify the IP of the server, and click "Send". For security, we recommend changing the standard prefix of wp_ database tables to a random set of Latin letters. On the page that confirms the connection to the database, click the "Start installation" button.
Enter the name of the site, name, password for entering the WordPress admin, email and click the "Install WordPress" button.
After 5-10 seconds, a message will appear that the engine is installed, and an email with a link to the CMS admin panel login page will be sent to the specified email address. 
At this point, the question of how to install WordPress is closed and you can start filling out a new site, changing its design and adding new functions by installing plugins.
