Manually installing OctoberCMS or any other Laravel based cms on a hosting server is quite difficult and time taking. You have to first install the stack and then install Laravel and finally you can install the CMS. It is better to use platform, like Cloudways Laravel hosting, where you can launch laravel in a single click, then you can install October through a single composer command.
