Visit the wiki site and follow the installation procedure which will conclude with a download of the LocalSettings.php file.
NB It's recommended to choose English as the installation language.
Edit the settings file and upload to the server and installation is complete.

If you didn't choose English as the installation language you can change it after installation.
For example, during installation the site language may have been set to “en-gb” (or something else) and it's preferable to use the Mediawiki default language of “en”.
Add the following to LocalSettings.php
$wgLanguageCode = "en";
Now reset the language to “en”.
echo 'MediaWiki\MediaWikiServices::getInstance()->getMessageCache()->clear()' | php maintenance/run.php eval php maintenance/run.php userOptions.php language --old en-gb --new en
To disable language selection (from “en”) in user preferences, add the following to LocalSettings.php
$wgHiddenPrefs[] = 'language';
