7. Fill the necessary field under the “Software Setup” field:

  • Choose the version you want to install: Leave this as it is.
    Choose Protocol: You can leave this as it is.
  • Choose Domain: If you don’t have multiple domains, leave this as it is.
  • In Directory: If
    you want to install this in a directory, for example

  • Admin Password: Use a strong password.

Note:
Copy the admin username and password on a notepad because you will need
