Move the unzipped directory under apache document root.

 [root@linuxhelp ~]# mv wolfcms-master /var/www/wolf

After, we have to configure ownership and permission for the Directory.

[root@linuxhelp ~]# chown -R apache. /var/www/wolf/
[root@linuxhelp ~]# chmod -R 755 /var/www/wolf/

Configure the virtualhost with the below steps.

 [root@linuxhelp ~]# vim /etc/httpd/conf.d/wolf.conf
<virtualhost *:80>
servername www.linuxhelp1.com
documentroot /var/www/wolf
</virtualhost>

After the virtualhost configuration edit the host file as your domain-name.

[root@linuxhelp ~]# vim /etc/hosts

Once all configuration done, Restart the apache service to update the changes.

[root@linuxhelp ~]# systemctl restart httpd

Go to Browser and type your domain name in new tab.

Once your system satisfies the requirements then click on continue option.

Here configure the database credentials.

Now, copy the admin password then click on login option to visit admin login console. Paste the admin password then click on login to visit the wolf cms dashboard
