# Installing MemHT

> Learn how to install MemHT on your web hosting account. Just follow our step-by-step MemHT instructions.

This article describes how to install the MemHT CMS (content management system) and blogging system on your hosting.com account.

## Installing MemHT

MemHT is compatible with all hosting.com accounts. However, you must install it manually.

<Note>
  Although hosting.com servers are compatible with a wide variety of software applications, we cannot provide troubleshooting assistance for application-specific issues.
</Note>

To install MemHT, follow these steps:

1. Download the MemHT application at [http://www.memht.com/downloads](http://www.memht.com/downloads) to your local computer.

2. Extract the.rar file on your computer.

3. Use FTP to upload the contents of the extracted **MemHT\_5.0.0.9\_RC** folder to the **public\_html** directory of your hosting.com account. (The exact name of the extracted folder may vary based on the version you downloaded.)
   > 📘 Note
   >
   > For information about how to access your account using FTP, please see [this article](/docs/using-ftp-file-transfer-protocol).

4. Use cPanel to create a MySQL database and database user for the application. You will need this information during the web configuration process.
   > 📘 Note
   >
   > For information about how to create a MySQL database and user, please see [this article](/docs/managing-mysql-databases).

5. Use your web browser to go to the MemHT installation URL, which is your domain name followed by *index.php* (for example, *[http://www.example.com/index.php](http://www.example.com/index.php)* ). The installation page appears.

6. Review the license, and then click **Accept**.

7. Review the requirements, and then click **Accept**.
   > 📘 Note
   >
   > By default, all of the required and optional components are installed on hosting.com's shared servers. If MemHT reports that a component is missing, however, please open a support ticket on the Hosting Panel at [https://my.hosting.com](https://my.hosting.com).

8. Under **Database data**, in the **Host** text box, type `localhost`.

9. In the **Username** text box, type the name of the database user that you created in step 4.
   > 📘 Note
   >
   > Remember that the database username begins with your username. For example, if you create a database user named *memht*, the full database username is *username\_memht*, where *username* represents your account username.

10. In the **Password** text box, type the password for the database user that you created in step 4.

11. In the **Name** text box, type the name of the database you created in step 4.
    > 📘 Note
    >
    > Remember that the database name begins with your username. For example, if you create a database named *memht*, the full database name is *username\_memht*, where *username* represents your account username.

12. In the **Tables prefix** text box, accept the default value of **memht**, or specify your own database table prefix for the installation.

13. Click **Next**.

14. MemHT creates the application database structure. Click **Next**.

15. Under **Admin account**, in the **Display name** text box, type a display name for the administrator.

16. In the **Username** text box, type a username for the administrator.

17. In the **Password** text box, type a password for the administrator.

18. In the **Email** text box, type the administrator's e-mail address.

19. Click **Next**. MemHT finishes the installation.

20. Use the [cPanel File Manager](/docs/cpanel-file-manager) to delete the **installation** folder in the **public\_html** directory.

    > 📘 Note
    >
    > Alternatively, you can log in to your account [using SSH](/docs/using-ssh-secure-shell) and then type the following command:

    ```bash theme={null}
    rm -rf ~/public_html/installation
    ```

21. You can now view the MemHT installation in your web browser by visiting *[http://www.example.com](http://www.example.com)*, where *example.com* represents your domain name. To log in as the administrator, use the username and password that you specified in steps 16 and 17.
