| 12 | * change into your web directory: |
| 13 | {{{ |

| 16 | * Follow these [http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress#Step_1:_Download_and_Extract excellent instructions]. |

| 18 | * Remove the latest.tar.gz file: |
| 19 | {{{ |
| 20 | rm latest.tar.gz |
| 21 | }}} |
| 22 | * Move the files from wordpress to your web directory: |
| 23 | {{{ |
| 24 | mv wordpress/* ./ |
| 25 | }}} |
| 26 | * Remove the wordpress directory |
| 27 | {{{ |
| 28 | rmdir wordpress |
