If during installation of a plugin, WordPress asks for your hostname or FTP details.
Then follow these steps:

Login to your server and navigate to /var/www/html/wordpress/.
Open wp-config.php and add this line after define(‘DB_COLLATE’)

define('FS_METHOD', 'direct');

If you get “Could not create directory” error. Give write permissions to your wordpress directory in recursive as

chmod -R go+w wordpress

NOTE. For security, revoke these permissions once you install a plugin as

chmod -R go-w wordpress
