Installing WordPress<\/b><\/h2>
After completing the initial configuration, you can set up WordPress using the “KUSANAGI Commands.” First, create a profile for your WordPress site:<\/p>
kusanagi provision --wp --wplang en_US --fqdn your_domain.com --email your_email@example.com --dbname your_db_name --dbuser your_db_user --dbpass \"your_db_password\" \"your_profile_name\"<\/code><\/pre>Required Options:<\/b><\/p>

Finishing the WordPress installation<\/b><\/h2>
WordPress installation can be finished from your browser, so first launch your browser and access the domain (FQDN) that you specified during provisioning.<\/p>
\n<\/p>
After accessing the domain (FQDN), you will be prompted to the login screen, where you should enter “kusanagi” as a login name and kusanagi password from the initial setup step<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>
In the WordPress setup window, enter the basic information of your WordPress site, the site administrator’s user information, etc. And finish the installation.<\/p>
