Step 1.  

First go to wordpress.org and download the latest version of wordpress installation files.

Step 2.

Extract all files from the zip folder you downloaded in Step 1. Now you have to compress the 'wordpress' folder' we just extracted. 

The zip file you downloaded will be like 'Wordpress 3.8.1' (the latest version) when you extract it first time you will get a folder named only wordpress which you should compress and upload to your hosting server via FTP or directly from cpanel.

Step 3. 

Create Mysql User and Database from your cpanel interface. Keep the database username and password in a safe place.

Step 4.

Now open url www.yourwordpresssitedomain.com/wordpress and configure the wp-config.php file. You will have to enter database name , password. 

Step 5. 

Now you will get a screen where you have to fill your site details title, name, admin username , admin password and your email. Remember to keep the admin password in a safe place.
