A few notes about using Fantastico:

• cPanel® maintains the versions of software available through Fantastico, so Fantastico doesn’t always contain the most recent version of the software.
• Some prefer to manually install software by downloading directly from the vendor’s site and following setup instructions.  In general, this gives you more fine-grained control.
• If you’re using Fantastico for the first time, please make sure to backup your site files before installing software.
