Once you have enabled the Compute Engine API, you can create a new Compute Engine instance. When creating a new instance, you will need to select the “WordPress” machine type.

You can also select the region and zone where you want your instance to be located. Once you have created your instance, you will need to connect to it using SSH. Once you are connected to your instance, you can install WordPress by running the following command:
