Let’s go through each method in detail:
For each of these methods, the start and end are the same, just the middle step differs, and we will explain below.
First download the package by visiting the MediaWiki Download page. Download via the first link there, which today is Download MediaWiki 1.31.1
The middle step now differs for File Manager or FTP:
You want to login to your hosting Control Panel and click on “File Manager.” Once there, at the bottom you will see an upload button. Use that to upload the file you just downloaded.
Connect to your account via FTP using any FTP client.
Once the file is on your account, visit the File Manager tab of your hosting Control Panel and click on the file in order to unpack it. You should unselect the “create directory” option.
Once it’s unpacked, you probably want to move all the files up one folder, so that they will be in the root of your hosting account.
Checkout the MediaWiki Download page to see where the package is available and if you don’t know what to do, then this method is not for you. 🙂
