QuickStart Installation If you want to get the exact copy of template's demo website, it is the easiest way to use quickstart demo installation. It includes all needed extensions (modules/components/plugins) confugured like on our demo. Using Quickstart releases you from installing and setting all the extensions manually. We strongly recommend to choose this installation option because you will avoid setting advanced(potential) configuration parameters of each item. Be sure this installation proccess is really easy - it's exactly the same like for manual standard joomla installation. Let's start the installation and follow standard steps: 1. Unpack the compressed quickstart.zip file inside the demosite folder As you can see, unpacked files looks simillar to standard Joomla!1.6 2. Upload the content( all files and directories) to your server directory folder installation. 3. Create a new database for your website 4. Run your website under a browser and follow the standard installation proccess Notice: Don't forget to press Install sample data at sixth step titled Configuration After ending the installation you will get exact copy of the demo website with all demo content, modules and components configured.
