You can go straight to wordpress.com and click "Create Website". Or if you want to take a more complicated route and go self-hosted, go to Dreamhost and select the WordPress 1-click install.

It literally is that easy. To write an article containing "So it took you two weeks to finally get the famous five-minute install finished" is just stupid.

I don't care much for WordPress, but the one thing you can't deny about it is that it's easy to install.
