5. Click on the Install button.

6. Fill the necessary field, under the Software Setup field:

• Choose Installation URL: Choose the appropriate protocol/domain. Inside the “In Directory” field, should you want to install this in a directory, i.e., example.com/directory, enter the directory name. Otherwise, leave it blank to install in your main domain, i.e., example.com.

• Site Name: Name of your Forum like Your Domain Name – My Forum Name

8. Under the Admin Account field, enter the following information:

• Password: Use a strong password.
• Email: Your e-mail address. (Useful for administrator account password reset, notification, etc.)

Note: Copy the admin username and password on a notepad because you will need these login details to access the admin area of your TangoBB Forum.

9. Advanced Options: Leave this as it is unless you want to change the database name or take an automated backup. Please note that taking frequent backups may take a lot of disk space.
