Download the latest WordPress:

# cd /home/www/dev.sluug.org/
# wget http://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz -O wordpress.tar.gz

Unpack the program:

# tar xfz wordpress.tar.gz
# cd wordpress/

Create the MySQL database (replace $WORDPRESS_MYSQL_USER with the real username, and $WORDPRESS_MYSQL_PWD with the real password):

# mysqladmin create wordpress
# mysql
	GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON wordpress.* TO $WORDPRESS_MYSQL_USER@localhost IDENTIFIED BY '$WORDPRESS_MYSQL_PWD';
	FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
	EXIT;

Tell WordPress about the database it will connect to.

# mv wp-config-sample.php wp-config.php

Edit wp-config.php to look like the following:

define('DB_NAME', 'wordpress');
define('DB_USER', '$WORDPRESS_MYSQL_USER');
define('DB_PASSWORD', '$WORDPRESS_MYSQL_PWD');
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
