Our web hosting control panel cPanel includes Softaculous, an automated script installer.
Simply login to cPanel and click on the "Softaculous" button to access the autoinstaller, which will take care of installing the latest stable version, setup permissions, and databases all with a click of a button.

  1. Download the stable versoin of Silverstripe - http://silverstripe.org/stable-download (.tar.gz version)
  2. Upload it to your public_html folder, or a subfolder within that folder.
  3. Login to cPanel and unzip the .tar.gz file.
  4. Create a folder named "silverstripe-cache" in your public_html folder (or whichever subfolder you choose for your root Silverstripe installation). Give this folder permissions of 755.
