-The latest version of Wordpress is 3.0.1. Instructions for the <s>previous</s> ancient version of Wordpress 2.0.x (specifically 2.0.4) can be found on this [[Installing Wordpress on Redbrick/2.0.x|page]].

+* Login into Redbrick from Terminal or PuTTY (or some other SSH client).
+* Download the script:
+ <code>wget https://git.redbrick.dcu.ie/Redbrick/eduScripts/raw/master/setupWordpress</code>
+* Run the script:
+ <code>bash setupWordpress</code>
+* Follow the prompts of the script
+*You now have "wordpress" in your public_html folder, and that's basically as much as you need to do from your SSH connection.  <code>https://'''YOURUSERNAME'''<nowiki>.redbrick.dcu.ie/</nowiki></code>
+*You need to check the permission on config.php also, so that it is 400.
+ <code>chmod 400 wp-config.php</code>
+*Follow the WordPress instructions there, you will need a Mysql database at this point just email admins for one
