Download and extract Joomla! (or any other CMS for that matter) to your webserver in less than two minutes. You can even choose to use FTP instead of PHP when extracting your files so that you do not receive any file ownership errors. It's a simple as that. All it takes is a few clicks and a bit of twiddling your thumb while the script does all the hard work for you.
