Assuming that you have already installed wordpress site, lets take a look on plugin installation. For authorization/authentication from Flarum forum, using flarum-ext-auth-wp, you need to instal two plugins on Wordpress site:

1. WP REST API - OAuth 1.0a Server (v. 0.2.1 or higher) - JSON-based REST API for WordPress, originally developed as part of GSoC 2013;
2. WP REST API (2.0-beta14 or higher) - Authenticate with your site via OAuth 1.0a.

When installation will be completed -> activate plugins from Plugins page in Wordpress console.

Then you need to register new application (your forum based on Flarum). Go to WP admin panel and navigate to Users -> Applications:

Add new application:
