It provides a very friendly web browser based interface, intuitive and easy to use even by beginners. As a consequence, anyone will be able to install applications like Mambo, PHP-Nuke, OS Commerce, WordPress and others, without having knowledge of FTP (file transfer protocol), CHMOD (file permissions settings), PHP or HTML. From the cPanel main page you must identify the Fantastico application and then, from the right menu you must select the desired application you want to install.
