ClipBucket is one the most widely used platforms for building video sharing websites. It offers a variety of amazing functionalities and is easy to manage, once the installation is complete. You can go through the process in two different ways – through automatic or through manual installation of the application. In this tutorial we are going to focus on the latter.
Your first step should be to download the latest version of the application from the ClipBucket’s official website. Then you need to unzip its content on your machine.

You would also need a database. If you are not familiar with the process of creating a new one in your cPanel – you can find the full instructions on this link.
After you make sure you have done all that, you need to go to your web browser and type down the exact URL to the root directory, where you extracted the content from the /upload folder as follows:
yourdomain.com
If you have uploaded the content of the /upload folder in a subdirectory of your public_html, you should type the URL address like this:
yourdomain.com/subfolder
