It sounds as if you’re trying to install the wordpress discourse plugin in order to [quote=“Rajesh\_Choudhary, post:1, topic:58816”]  
add this kind of forum in my wordpress site  
[/quote]

That’s not what the plugin does. Discourse is a separate application which (in most scenarios) runs on a separate server (see the [install guide](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md)). The wordpress plugin allows a wordpress website and a Discourse forum to be interlinked, but you need to setup discourse first.
