Hello.
I wanted to install akeeba and made wizard.
Now I see this: Your host needs to use PHP 5.3.10 or higher to run this version of Joomla!

But in bluehost I see my php version is 5.6.32.

Also I wanted to do as you mentioned in the other ticket :

Delete your existing .htaccess file using cPanel's File Manager. NOTE: You must check the "show hidden files" option when launching File Manager to see files whose name starts with a dot.
Rename .htaccess.admintools to .htaccess


But I couldnt find .htaccess in my file maneger no "show hidden otption"
Also I couldnt find .htaccess.admintools

Can you help me please

Go to your hosting control panel.

Set the PHP version to something different. It's indifferent what, just something different than what you are currently using. Apply the new setting.

Now set the PHP version to either 5.6 or something even newer: at the time of this writing PHP 7.1 is your best choice.

By doing this you are forcing your host to add the custom directives to the .htaccess file which apply the specific PHP version you chose.

After you confirm that your site loads fine, open your .htaccess file. It should be inside the public_html directory of your site. If you cannot see it, please ask your host about how to do it with their hosting control panel's file manager. We can't help with that bit as we have not set up your host's servers.

Go all the way to the bottom of the file. There should be an AddHandler line with some cryptic stuff mentioning the PHP version you selected. Copy that.

Now go to Admin Tools, .htaccess Maker and add that code to the "Custom .htaccess rules at the bottom of the file" area. If you are not sure whether you are about to enter the right thing there please paste those lines to your next reply to us. We can tell you if you're copying the correct stuff when we see it, we just can't tell you what it should look like; the latter requires knowing how the web server was configured by the host.

Finally you can Save and Create .htaccess to apply these changes.

Alternatively to all of that you can ask your host to set a modern PHP version (5.6 or 7.1) as the default version for your entire account.

Oh my God!
I could only change my PHP to :

PHP 7.0 (FastCGI) [Beta, check site functionality for compatibility after enabling]
All files with the extension .php will be handled by PHP 7.0 FastCGI processes.
FastCGI for PHP makes all your PHP applications run through mod_fastcgi instead of mod_suphp. This eliminates the overhead of loading the PHP interpreter on every hit. Since it is always in memory ready for the next hit, the responses will be generated faster.

Then....

Firstly I got this: 

Hello,

Adn then as I didnt check my email I got this:
