3. Click on the "Softaculous" option.

5. On the left side of your screen you should locate the "Forums" category. Click on it and then click on the "MyBB" link that will appear.


6. Click on the "Install" button



7. Fill the necessary field under the "Software Setup" field:
  • Choose Domain: If you don't have multiple domains, leave this as it is.
  • In Directory: If you want to install this in a directory, for example example.com/forums, enter the directory name. Otherwise, leave this blank to install in your main domain example.com

8. Enter the following details under the "Board Settings" field:
  • Site Name: Enter the name of your website, such as "My Website".

  • MySQL Database Prefix: Leave this as it is.



9. Under the "Admin Account" field enter the following information:

Admin Password: Use a strong password.
Admin Email: Your e-mail address. (Useful for administrator account password reset, notification, etc)

Note: Copy the admin username and password on a notepad because you will need these login details to access the admin area of your MyBB Forum.
