# WordPress

WordPress is the most commonly used Content Management System out there. In fact, one-third of the top 10 million websites (!!) are running … you guessed it … WordPress! And that for good reason. It’s fast, modular, and has a huge active community that develops every imaginable feature in form of a plugin.

### Create an antlet with the LEMP Stack Template

To get started with WordPress, we again [create a new antlet](/antlets/create-and-manage-antlet.md). This time, we use the LEMP-Stack template, as it comes preconfigured with all the software you need to run WordPress.

Now, you just need to copy in the Wordpress files. 

### Copy in the WordPress Files

An easy way to do that is with an FTP app. Just create a port forwarding rule to make a port on your Antsle redirect to port 22 on your WordPress antlet. Then use FileZilla or Transmit and connect to that port. Here's an example below.

![Screenshot from Transmit. You can see it's connecting to port 2210 on your Antsle.](https://2204297924-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LykQfPew0YJZLWKBUYz%2F-MCi7RhTCdLDqfxZbhBn%2F-MCiQjVHLj29_tNaslA9%2Fftp-connection.jpg?alt=media\&token=67f444ba-2bcc-40cc-a62e-4e5fd601dad2)

In your FTP app, just navigate to the `/var/www/html` directory and place all the files from wordpress.org/download/ there.

Update the owner and permissions of the wordpress files with

`chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html`\
`chmod -R 755 /var/www/html`

All in all, that just adds 1 minute to the famous 5 minute WordPress installation.

### Access WordPress on your antlet

Now you can open your browser, [connect to your antlet](/templates/using-the-lemp-stack.md#2-set-up-access), and voila, you're in the Wordpress set up page.

To show the world what your Website is all about, [configure access via a domain name](/antlets/access-antlets.md#access-domain-name) like *<https://myawesomeblog.com>*.
