To avoid a waste of time downloading, unzipping and uploading the WordPress files, I used this method to install it through ssh on my 1&1 hosting (the $ symbol is just to show that it’s a console command, there’s no need to digit it):

1. Connect to your server via ssh

    ssh yourusername@yourserver
   

2. Insert password when requested

3. Once connected, download the latest version of WordPress

    $ wget http://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz
   

4. Unarchive the downloaded file, where the parameter x is for extract, z is for the gzip format used and f is to specify from which file

    $ tar -zxf lastest.tar.gz
   

5. Rename the created wordpress folder to the desired one

    $ mv wordpress/ blog/
   

6. Follow the Famous 5-Minute Install skipping point 1 and 5, while for the point 3 and 4 work directly on the server. The file can be renamed through ssh

    $ mv wp-config-sample.php wp-config.php
   

   and edited using any console editor the server has installed, such as nano or vim.
