Installing WordPress on an AWS instance (not through AWS Marketplace)

I need help installing WordPress on my new Amazon EC2 instance.

I created it and I have SSH and SFTP working through FileZilla (using PuTTY because I'm on Windows 10). I also have my Google domain name pointing to the IPv4 address as well.

How do I install WordPress on my site now? I don't want to install it initially when setting up the instance through the AWS marketplace with bitnami or whatever.

Please follow these steps to install the WordPress in AWS:

  1. Log in to AWS using SSH.
  2. Go to Root Folder (/var/www/html/).
  3. Check whether wp cli is installed or not. If not, please install. The installation guide is here.
  4. Create a folder in the name of the project.
  5. Get into the folder (cd folder name).
  6. Use command wp core download (it will install the latest version).
  7. Use command wp core config --dbname=<dbname> --dbuser=<dbuser> --dbpass=<dbpassword> --dbhost=localhost (it will create wp-config.php file)
  8. Use command wp db create (create database in named as previous command)
  9. Use command wp core install --url=http://<yoursiteurl> --title=<Project Name>--admin_user=<adminuser> --admin_password=<adminpassword> --admin_email="<youremailid>"

It will install WordPress in AWS. We followed the same with successful installation many times. Please find the automated script at GitHub (https://github.com/trisghosh/wordpress-automated-script). Please use the automated one after you complete at least one manual installation.
