Hi, I’m trying to set up my wordpress site. I clicked “get started”, quick access to wordpress > # Please log into your Droplet with SSH to configure the WordPress installation. And it just gives instructions but I’m not understanding how to log in. I already posted name servers from GoDaddy, I have a domain already, etc. Any information/insight into this would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

Heya @andrewilliano,
In order to login you need to SSH to your Droplet. There are a couple of ways to go about this but given that you might not be acquinted with SSH or don’t have an available program you can use the DigitalOcean WebConsole:

Once inside you can follow the instructions on how to proceed.
