This would probably be suited in open topics but in either case, I don't know what you're trying to install, if it's a node.js project, php, or what. Usually with PHP there's an index.php file that would be use for accessing the site but you would usually also have to go through some sort of set up process via whatever install.php they have to configure database and what not. But we can't begin anywhere near to helping you out if we don't have enough details such as if you're using lunux or windows, the script you're trying to use, etc.

I am trying to install wowonder php script
And as I followed the process of installing it into my panel I need to extract and upload the file in my file manager httpdocs an then click my website.com/install and when I do that I get an error 404 I just can't figure out where am going wrong

Did you upload a directory structure that includes an /install directory? Or did you upload a zip archive that needs to be unpacked in order to create the structures that the software needs?

I installed the zip file and unziped it and when I run the installation wizard I just get a 404 error. This is the link to the site phylchat.top

Do you see /httpdocs/install in File Manager? Or could it be that the /install is located on a lower or higher level? Sometimes such zip archives first have a directory with the product name and version and from there the actual installation files are descending.

The installation video (found here) shows them uploading the zip to a new directory within the html_public folder (which would be httpdocs in plesk) and unzipping the zip folder. So with that logic, if you're going to be installing it to your base domain, you'll want to make sure that the the contents of the zip is, in fact, extracted in said httpdocs directory. If you have it extracted in another directory within httpdocs then in your browser you'll need to add in that directory name before the install part.
