How to install Magento?

To run Magento on your servelet, you can order a servelet with "Ubuntu 14.04.2 (64-bit) + Magento 1.9.1.1 (Apache)" OS template, which already have the LAMP stack (Apache, PHP and MySQL) and Magento pre-installed. Once the servelet is created, note down the IP address of your servelet, and then access the IP address using the URL in your browser:

http://SERVELET-IP-ADDRESS

For example, if your servelet's IP address is 11.22.33.44, then try to access:

http://11.22.33.44

You will see Magento's Installation Wizard, as shown on below screenshot.
