How do I install Textpattern directly to my server?

1.

You must have ssh(secure shell) or command line access to your server to continue with this tutorial.

2.

SSH into your server and change to the webroot directory. Then type:

wget http://textpattern.com/file_download/37/textpattern-4.0.5.tar.gz

3.

Now unpack the downloaded file.

tar -xvzf textpattern-4.0.5.tar.gz

4.

Copy the contents of the unpacked folder to the webroot.

cp textpattern-4.0.5/* ./

Make sure that ../ is the path to your webroot from your current folder position.
