Drupal is a content management system (CMS) for building dynamic web sites, and it offers a broad range of features and services such as user administration, publishing workflow, discussion capabilities, news aggregation, metadata functionalities using controlled vocabularies, and XML publishing for content sharing purposes.

Drupal is easy to use and even easier to install!  Just follow the directions and screenshots below, and you’ll have Drupal installed in a matter of minutes!

Login to your cpanel and type “installatron” in the find box.  The Installatron icon will appear to the right of the box.

Click on the Installatron icon.  Then click on the tab labeled “Applications Browser”.

Click on “Drupal” under “Content Management Systems”

Click “install this application”

Click “next”

Configure your path and click “next”.  If you want Drupal to be installed in the root of your domain and not in a sub folder, leave the box labeled “Path” blank.

You will have to the option to choose the version of Drupal you would like to install.  It automatically defaults to the latest version (which we recommend); click “next” to continue.

If you agree to the license agreement, click “I Accept”.

Choose between Installatron automatically managing your databases for you or managing them yourself.  Click “next” after you make your selection.

Installatron is now ready to install Drupal.  Just click “submit” to install.

You should see this screen while Drupal is installing.

An external task window will appear.  Enter your details and click “Save and Continue”.

Click “The External Task is Complete” button

Congratulations!  You’ve successfully installed Drupal!  Be sure to take note of your username and password, and just click “complete” to finish.

To begin building your web site with Drupal, just click the URL next to administration, and you’re ready to start creating your site!
