You install Drupal by the following steps:

  1. Dowload Drupal and put it on a server.
  2. Make two adjustments to Drupal's file system (or make sure that Drupal can do them for you).
  3. Provide Drupal with the login information for your database.
  4. Set a few basic settings for your site, such as information for the first user account.

These steps are described in more detail below.
