<h2>First Things First</h2>
<p>Welcome. WordPress is a very special project to me. Every developer and contributor adds something unique to the mix, and together we create something beautiful that I’m proud to be a part of. Thousands of hours have gone into WordPress, and we’re dedicated to making it better every day. Thank you for making it part of your world.</p>
<p style="text-align: right">— Matt Mullenweg</p>
<h2>Installation: Famous 5-minute install</h2>
<ol>
<li>Unzip the package in an empty directory and upload everything.</li>
<li>Open <span class="file"><a href="wp-admin/install.php">wp-admin/install.php</a></span> in your browser. It will take you through the process to set up a <code>wp-config.php</code> file with your database connection details.
<ol>
<li>If for some reason this doesn’t work, don’t worry. It doesn’t work on all web hosts. Open up <code>wp-config-sample.php</code> with a text editor like WordPad or similar and fill in your database connection details.</li>
<li>Save the file as <code>wp-config.php</code> and upload it.</li>
<li>Open <span class="file"><a href="wp-admin/install.php">wp-admin/install.php</a></span> in your browser.</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>Once the configuration file is set up, the installer will set up the tables needed for your site. If there is an error, double check your <code>wp-config.php</code> file, and try again. If it fails again, please go to the <a href="https://wordpress.org/support/forums/">WordPress support forums</a> with as much data as you can gather.</li>
<li><strong>If you did not enter a password, note the password given to you.</strong> If you did not provide a username, it will be <code>admin</code>.</li>
<li>The installer should then send you to the <a href="wp-login.php">login page</a>. Sign in with the username and password you chose during the installation. If a password was generated for you, you can then click on “Profile” to change the password.</li>
</ol>
<h2>Updating</h2>
<h3>Using the Automatic Updater</h3>
<ol>
<li>Open <span class="file"><a href="wp-admin/update-core.php">wp-admin/update-core.php</a></span> in your browser and follow the instructions.</li>
<li>You wanted more, perhaps? That’s it!</li>
</ol>
<h3>Updating Manually</h3>
<ol>
<li>Before you update anything, make sure you have backup copies of any files you may have modified such as <code>index.php</code>.</li>
<li>Delete your old WordPress files, saving ones you’ve modified.</li>
<li>Upload the new files.</li>
<li>Point your browser to <span class="file"><a href="wp-admin/upgrade.php">/wp-admin/upgrade.php</a>.</span></li>
</ol>

<h2>Final Notes</h2>
<ul>
<li>If you have any suggestions, ideas, or comments, or if you (gasp!) found a bug, join us in the <a href="https://wordpress.org/support/forums/">Support Forums</a>.</li>
<li>WordPress has a robust plugin <abbr>API</abbr> (Application Programming Interface) that makes extending the code easy. If you are a developer interested in utilizing this, see the <a href="https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/">Plugin Developer Handbook</a>. You shouldn’t modify any of the core code.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Share the Love</h2>
<p>WordPress has no multi-million dollar marketing campaign or celebrity sponsors, but we do have something even better—you. If you enjoy WordPress please consider telling a friend, setting it up for someone less knowledgable than yourself, or writing the author of a media article that overlooks us.</p>
<p>WordPress is the official continuation of <a href="http://cafelog.com/">b2/cafélog</a>, which came from Michel V.
