Get Ready to Install
Getting started on your Joomla Web site is easy to do. Many hosting services offer a simple one-click installation, but if you'd rather be more hands-on, have more control or are your own host, all you need is a Web server with

download a copy of Joomla. Then visit our
install documentation to continue your adventure.
