Okay, Do most people edit on the concrete5 website, then download to your own computer before uploading to your hosting site? Or how are most of you doing it?

First, you will need to download and extract the latest stable version of Concrete. Then, upload via FTP (or, some web hosts have a one-click install). You will need to set up a database, then navigate to your site where you uploaded concrete to. Go through the install process.

From there, you can just build the site online.

Be sure to check out the documentation area, too.

If I might add a tip...

I find it much faster and more reliable to download the zip file from concrete5.org and then go to your host's File Manager and use their 'Upload File' function to upload this zip file to the root of your server. I then use the 'Expand' or 'Unzip' function of the host's File Manager the unzip the file directly on the host.

I completely agree -
If you have cPanel - I made some step by step instructions that bypass most of the uploading etc...

Note - you'll need to update the file download to the latest url.
