Fill in the necessary fields under the Software Setup section:
- Choose Installation URL: Select the appropriate protocol/domain. In the "In Directory" field, if you want to install this in a directory (e.g., example.com/directory), enter the directory name. Otherwise, leave it blank to install in your main domain (e.g., example.com).
