You use ftp to login. I would contact your webhost for that information.

Were we supposed to do the 5 minute install in addition to the one click install from cPanel? I'm not seeing any wordpress folder on my local computer. I only see it through FTP on my site.

no , no 5 minutes install

just login to to the ftp , there will be wordpress files that you could right click and copy to your pc once you edit them then you upload the new file

it really is what you name that folder. You have to know how to navigate your ftp server.

Not sure if you figured this out for yourself but I had the same problem. Login to cPanel (or whatever content management system came with your hosting service). Go to your file manager, select the home directory when it asks which directory to open. Then under public_html you will find all the word press folders shown in this video.
