No WP instillation on wp-admin??

I have been building my WordPress site whilst watching the videos.

When I typed in {MYURL/wp-adimin} however it did not come up with the Installation process (4:19 of the video)?

I also realised that during the filezilla transfer that there were already wordpress files on my server (purchased this morning from web hosting for students? I overwrite them, wondering if this was the wrong thing to do now??

Why is the instillation page not on my wp-admin page? Thanks!

I may have just realised my mistake, sorry new to this site!

I have been following the instructions on the videos to the letter. Now I have realised that I probably didn't need to install WordPress manually as I had already done it as explained on a previous video (automatically on 1 click install)!!

COULD I HAVE MESSED ANYTHING UP BY BEGINNING THE MANUAL PROCESS AS WELL?

... I dunno, since we don't have all the details here.

Have you considered wp-admin instead of wp-adimin?

I wrote the URL correctly, just mis-spelt it on this post, apologies. Could you consider the above comment where I realised my mistake? Many Thanks

You are correct, you only need to install WordPress once, so if you installed it via 1 click and then tried to do it manually again you would have some issues.

At this point, I would suggest deleting everything inside the public_html folder and doing the manual install process.
