# One-click PrestaShop, OpenCart, Joomla, Drupal, Moodle and Laravel

> Install PrestaShop, OpenCart, Joomla, Drupal, Moodle or Laravel in one click on HyperDC Linux hosting, with the database and scheduled jobs set up for you.

Difficulty: Beginner

Your Linux hosting service installs the most used PHP applications in one click: **PrestaShop**, **OpenCart**, **Joomla**, **Drupal**, **Moodle** and **Laravel**. WordPress has a guide of its own: [install WordPress on Linux hosting](/guides/install-wordpress-linux-hosting). If you chose an application when you ordered, it is already installed when your service is ready.

## Before you start

- Your domain points to the server; see [first steps on Linux hosting](/guides/linux-hosting-first-steps).
- The site exists in **Websites** with a PHP version the application supports; see [domains, PHP and .htaccess on Linux hosting](/guides/linux-hosting-domains-php).

## Step 1: Start the installer

1. Open **Applications** on your service page.
2. Under **Application catalogue**, select **Install** next to the application.

## Step 2: Fill in the form

1. Choose the **Website**.
2. Leave **Folder** empty to install at the root of the site, or enter one such as `shop`. Files already in that folder may be replaced.
3. Fill in what the application asks for, such as the **Site title**, the **Admin user**, the **Admin e-mail** and the **Admin password**.
4. Select **Install**. A new database is created for the application, and the installation shows **Installing** until it is done.

**Verify:** the state becomes **Installed**, and **Open Site** shows the application's start page.

## What the installer sets up

| Application | Use it for |
|---|---|
| PrestaShop | An online shop |
| OpenCart | An online shop |
| Joomla | A website or portal |
| Drupal | A content-rich website |
| Moodle | Online courses |
| Laravel | Your own PHP application |

Besides the database and the files, the installer sets up the application's scheduled jobs, such as the schedulers of Joomla, Drupal, Moodle and Laravel, so they run from the server on time. They appear under **Scheduled Tasks**; see [scheduled tasks on Linux hosting](/guides/linux-hosting-scheduled-tasks).

Rewrites in the applications' own `.htaccess` files work as they come, so friendly addresses work from the start.

## Open and remove an application

The list under **Installed applications** has **Open Site** and **Open Admin** next to each installation. To remove one, select **Remove**, choose whether to **Delete its files** and **Delete its database**, then select **Remove Application**. This cannot be undone.

## Next steps

- HTTPS for the new site: [free SSL on Linux hosting](/guides/linux-hosting-ssl).
- The databases the installer made: [databases on Linux hosting](/guides/linux-hosting-databases).

## Frequently asked questions

### Do I need to create a database first?

No. The installer creates a new database for the application and writes its details into the application's settings.

### Which PHP version should the site use?

The newest one the application's current release supports. Set it under Websites, Settings, before you install.

### Do the application's scheduled jobs run by themselves?

Yes. The installer sets up the jobs the application needs, such as Moodle's cron and Laravel's scheduler, so they run from the server and not on page loads.

### Can I install into a folder, such as /shop?

Yes. Enter the folder in the form; the application then opens at example.com/shop.
