Installing and activating Jeptack
In the WordPress Dashboard, click Plugins.
From the Plugins area, select Add New.
In the Add Plugins page, go to the Search Plugins field and enter Jetpack.
The Jetpack plugin will appear. Click Install Now.
Click Activate Plugin. Note: At this point, Jetpack is active, but locked. You'll need to unlock it using the Fanny Pack plugin or a WordPress.com account (see below.)
Fanny Pack plugin
If you don't have a WordPress.com account, you can use the Fanny Pack plugin to run Jetpack in Developer Mode. Features like the Portfolio Custom Content Type, Photo Carrosel, and Extra Sidebar Widgets are enabled, but enhanced security features can't be turned on.
Using Chrome or Firefox, go to the Fanny Pack GitHub page. (Note: Do not use Safari for this process.)
Click the Clone or download button (on right). In the fly-out menu that appears, select Download ZIP. A ZIP file of the plugin will download to your computer.
Go to the Dashboard of your WordPress site. Select Plugins and choose Add New.
On the Add Plugins page, click Upload Plugin. Click Choose File. Navigate to and select fanny-pack-master.zip on your computer.
Click Install Now.
Click Activate Plugin. Fanny Pack will unlock Jetpack on your site.
WordPress.com
If you have an existing WordPress.com account, you can use it to unlock Jetpack. This will allow to use all of the Jetpack modules.
