With an FTP client.
And read the instructions.
http://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page
Unzip the ZIP file onto your computer
Then move the folder to where you want via FTP program like WinSCP
Then just go to the folder location, for example if you uploaded the folder and changed the folder name to WordPress go to
yoursitename.com/wordpress
and the installation instructions will be there

So you already have a hosting. Log in to your hosting (Control Panel) search for Fantasticodata (good webhosting usually have it).
Choose whatever platform you want from there. Let say you choose WP. Select WP and it will install it.
There’s no need to use FTP and so on.
There are instructions within the download what exactly to do. Very easy, just follow the instructions
First off, make sure your hosting plan allows FTP access. Some do not, like GoDaddy’s website tonight plan. Also check if your hosting provider offers a WordPress database -if not, you may have to fiddle with MySLQ to set up a database.

I have a free e-mail series on how to use WordPress on my blog.
http://www.speedonlinewealth.com/blog
In Part One, I give people a link to a free PDF report with clear instructions about how to install WordPress (different methods). The report has lots of screen shots.
In other parts of the series I talk about other things you need to set up WordPress blogs to change the look and add features like the ability to do podcasts (for those who would like to) and all kinds of cool things.
My free series is very good for people who want to make money with their WordPress blog (either selling their own products or being an affiliate for other people’s products) but it’s also helpful to people who just want to set up a nice looking blog with the least amount of fuss possible.
I wasted hours and hours trying to figure out how to use WordPress when I first began. Then I bought a really good guide and that helped a lot. I mention it in my series. I designed the series to save people the trouble that I went through.

I look forward to seeing some new subscribers! I enjoy helping people with WordPress.
