6. Fill in the necessary fields under the Software Setup fields:
- Choose Installation URL: Choose the appropriate protocol/domain. If you want to install this in a directory, enter the directory name in the "In Directory" field, such as, example.com/directory. Otherwise,leave it blank to install in your main domain, i.e., example.com.
