Install
=======
-Unarchive into a web directory and call that directory through your
-browser and web server. Follow the instructions and links and all
-should work fine.
+1. Download and unzip the WordPress MU package, if you haven't already.
+ The unzipped files will be created in a directory named "wordpressmu"
+ followed by a version or "wpmu" followed by a date. For the sake of
+ convenience, rename this folder "wordpressmu" before continuing.
+2. Create a database for WordPress MU on your web server, as well as a
+ MySQL user who has all privileges for accessing and modifying it.
+3. Place the WordPress MU files in the desired location on your web server:
+ * If you want to integrate WordPress MU into the root of your
+ domain (e.g. http://example.com/), move or upload all contents of
+ the unzipped WordPress MU directory (but excluding the directory
+ itself) into the root directory of your web server.
+ * If you want to have your WordPress MU installation in its own
+ subdirectory on your web site (e.g. http://example.com/blogs/),
+ rename the directory wordpressmu to the name you'd like the
+ subdirectory to have and move or upload it to your web server.
+ For example if you want the WordPress MU installation in a
+ subdirectory called "blog", you should rename the directory called
+ "wordpressmu" to "blogs" and upload it to the root directory of your
+ web server.
+4. Run the WordPress MU installation script by accessing index.php
+ in your favorite web browser.
+ * If you installed WordPress MU in the root directory, you should
+ visit: http://example.com/index.php
+ * If you installed WordPress MU in its own subdirectory called
+ blogs, for example, you should visit: http://example.com/blogs/index.php
