What stack is running on VPS. I mean OS, webserver etc.

Most probably it is linux and apache or nginx.

Digital ocean website has detailed tutorial about installing wordpress and adding domain.

Search of LAMP installation or wordpress installation on LAMP.

OVH will not help you with this.

Installing everything manually on a Linux distro requires a moderate Linux knowledge.

I would suggest installing a free panel like Webmin or VestaCP.

Ofcourse you are not going to get support, if they are unmanaged VPSes. You will need to install everything by yourself. There are lots of tutorials available for installing LAMP/LEMP stack. Google "how to install LAMP ubuntu". Change ubuntu to your distro.

For that he will need to know apt commands.

Additionally, webmin isn't the easiest panel out there for operation. Not sure about VistaCP though.

To be honest, his best choice would have been Digital Ocean's one click installers.

Use easyengine. 10 domain max. Free ssl

You can use moss.sh or any other such free panels.

All you have to do is login to your VPS to run some arbitary code that moss gives you, to let moss access the server. Then on, you can control everything from the Moss panel.

The best one like this is serverpilot. Unfortunately they no longer offer free plans. I miss Serverpilot so much.

When I read the OP again, it does seem like you have LAMP installed already. Do you have the site running?

For domain you will need to add virtual host. For removing the "Need FTP details", you will need to do a chown like following
sudo chown -R www-data:root /var/www/html

Change the highlighted path with the path of your site.
