    1313Install 
    1414======= 
    15 Unarchive into a web directory and call that directory through your 
    16 browser and web server. Follow the instructions and links and all 
    17 should work fine. 
     151. Download and unzip the WordPress MU package, if you haven't already. 
     16   The unzipped files will be created in a directory named "wordpressmu" 
     17   followed by a version or "wpmu" followed by a date. For the sake of 
     18   convenience, rename this folder "wordpressmu" before continuing. 
     192. Create a database for WordPress MU on your web server, as well as a  
     20   MySQL user who has all privileges for accessing and modifying it. 
     213. Place the WordPress MU files in the desired location on your web server: 
     22   * If you want to integrate WordPress MU into the root of your  
     23     domain (e.g. http://example.com/), move or upload all contents of  
     24     the unzipped WordPress MU directory (but excluding the directory  
     25     itself) into the root directory of your web server. 
     26   * If you want to have your WordPress MU installation in its own  
     27     subdirectory on your web site (e.g. http://example.com/blogs/),  
     28     rename the directory wordpressmu to the name you'd like the  
     29     subdirectory to have and move or upload it to your web server.  
     30     For example if you want the WordPress MU installation in a  
     31     subdirectory called "blog", you should rename the directory called  
     32     "wordpressmu" to "blogs" and upload it to the root directory of your  
     33     web server.  
     344. Run the WordPress MU installation script by accessing index.php 
     35   in your favorite web browser. 
     36   * If you installed WordPress MU in the root directory, you should  
     37     visit: http://example.com/index.php 
     38   * If you installed WordPress MU in its own subdirectory called  
     39     blogs, for example, you should visit: http://example.com/blogs/index.php
