Good morning I have software installed on Digital Ocean, and I want to add a blog in the same application. Can anyone guide me on how to install WordPress in this application?

Heya,

What Software do you have installed? Do you have a WebService like Apache or Nginx?

ALso do you have database softaware like MySQL installed on your Droplet? Usually, the following should do the trick for you:

If you can provide us with more detailed information about the software you have we can provide more pinpoint instructions on how to proceed.

Hi there,

You should be able to install WordPress on an existing Droplet by following the steps here:

Note that if you already have a webserver running on port 80/443 there will be no need to install Apache as it will not be able to start on the same port.

Feel free to share more information about your exact current server setup and I will be happy to give you more information!
