Installing Joomla can be a very fast and streamlined process after you have refined it over time. If it's your first time, you might not know where to start. Here, I'll give you the process that I follow when installing a new Joomla site on a Linux web server with root shell / SSH access.
- Setup your web hosting account, FTP, database, and DNS if you haven't already.
- Download the latest version of Joomla from joomla.org in zip format.
- Upload the zip file to your website.
- Shell into your server with a program like puTTY. (I always shell in as root with "su -" or "sudo su -")
- Run "cd /path/to/your/website/"
- Run "unzip Joomla....." (hit tab to fill in the rest of the filename)
- In your browser, go to your website. It should bring up the Installation Wizard. Follow the instructions. I never load sample data because it takes too long to delete all of it.
