Check the supported release and required writable paths. Small application size does not remove the need for updates, strong administrative access and off-account backups.

Use the project's current supported release information and the requirements shown for the package you select. If Softaculous offers an older or unsuitable build, follow the current vendor installation process or ask us to confirm a suitable environment. Do not enable an unsupported PHP runtime simply to reproduce an old tutorial.

1. Back up any existing site at the destination. Choose an empty directory or a separate staging hostname for a new installation; never approve overwriting a working site without a migration plan.
2. Open Softaculous where your hosting service includes it. In cPanel, search for Softaculous Apps Installer. In SiteWorx, use Hosting Features > Softaculous where that integration is enabled.
3. Find WonderCMS and review the package and requirements before selecting Install. Select the correct HTTPS domain. Leave In Directory empty only when the empty domain root is the intended destination.
4. Complete the application-specific fields and a strong administrator credential stored in a password manager. Supply a reachable administrative email where requested. Review file-backup and update choices. Include the actual content, media and configuration files for this file-based application; a database-only backup is not sufficient.
5. Start installation once and wait for the completion result. Record the public and administration URLs. Where this application needs the publisher's own deployment process, complete that process instead of forcing an outdated installer package.

Install a current trusted package, configure the site address and secure administrator access. Add a page and review the chosen theme and extensions before making larger changes.

Edit a page, upload a harmless file and check the result as a visitor. Verify the backup contains actual content and settings and can be restored to a separate location.

When a save fails, inspect file ownership and quota before changing permissions. Keep content backups outside publicly downloadable paths and avoid retaining obsolete installer files on the live website.

Keep files and data together in your recovery plan, test application updates in a copy when practical, and review logs after deployment. If installation fails, record the exact error, selected application/PHP versions and destination path before retrying.
