Install Joomla! in cPanel without Fantastico

[hilario]

I know there is the "Fantastico" application to help install Joomla and integrate it with WHM.

However, it only install obsolete versions of Joomla (1.5 and 1.7, while joomla stable is 2.5 and they are about to launch 3.0)

Questions are:

1) Is it mandatory to install Joomla using Fantastico or is it possible to install Joomla direct without braking cPanel?

2) Is there any special requirements, instructions or tutorials to make this Joomla installation?


Thanks in advance for any help provided.

You can certainly install one manually if you like. You will need to create a database, create user, and then associate that user to that database, first though. This can be done in your cPanel easy enough.
MySQL Databases - cPanel Documentation
Now you need the files for Joomla, and instructions on what to do with them. Joomla has docs for this located here:
Installing Joomla! - Joomla! Documentation
