You are reading: How to install

BT Education
Installing
Installing Template file or Quickstart package is a common decision. If your website already has content and you just want to change its
skin, we suggest you to install template file and choose extensions to add. If you are a Joomla newbie and your website has no or few
data, in most cases, installing Quickstart package is the best choice.
1. Installing Quickstart package

* How a quickstart package works?
A Quickstart package is a whole Joomla website installation kit that installs the template and all of the components and plug-ins
onto your server at once. For each template, Bowthemes provides the Quickstart package to use easily and comfortably. It will
help you save much time on installing and configuring if you plan to start your site quickly. Installing the Quickstart package is
quite easy as you install Joomla generally!
In short, Quickstart = Joomla! + Template + Modules or/and Plugins + Images* + demo content included
Step 1: Download Bow Themes template package:
Download Quickstart package from bowthemes.com. Please make sure you download correct package for the Joomla version
which you want to use.
Step 2: Unzip Quickstart package
The next step is extracting the file locally identified as Quickstart. After the extraction is done, it will contain within all files
needed to perform this type of installation.
Step 3: Extract and upload it to your server
Upload all the files into the directory of your website that you want to install your new Joomla! project. Because of upload speed
of your connection or your server configuration, this process might take several minutes.
If you don't have any FTP software, we recommend FileZilla - a powerful and free FTP solution.
Step 4 : Files Installation.
www.bowthemes.com

BT Education
Install page 2 is the database page. The details you enter here are important as this is where the actual information for your Joomla
installation is going to be stored. In a nutshell you need to create a mysql database, a user for the database and then assign that user to
the database you created.This step requires a slight detour and we need to open up cpanel on our server.
Step 5 : Prepare your database

Open the cpanel account on your server. Most of the
time
you
find
this
by
navigating
to
http://www.mysite.com/cpanel. Once you have logged
in, navigate to the database area of the cpanel account.
Depending on the theme, it may look different on your
server. And this image shows how it looks like on one
of our servers.
You can use the database wizard to skip the process. But for those who have no the wizard on their cpanel installation, this is the
guide to create the database.
Click on the mysql database icon and write the name of the database you want to use for your site in the window provided. You
can use any name you want. Click on the Create database button and you should receive a success message telling you that the
database has been created.
Navigate back to the mysql database page and scroll down to the input boxes of
Create new mysql user.
The username and password you put in here are up to you. However, you should
use the random password generator to improve your Joomla site security.
After clicking Create New User, you will receive the success message and you are
abled to navigate back to the mysql page and scroll down the page again. Take a
note of the username and password - as we will need this later.
You now need to assign the user to the database. So where it says "Add user to
database" select the database and the user you have just created and make sure
they appear in the top and the bottom drop down boxes.
Once you have the new user and new database in the select boxes, you click add and
the following screen will appear.
Assign full or all privileges to the user and click "make changes" submit or add a
user or whichever submit button you have there. Then, you receive another
message telling that your user has been successfully added to the database. You
need to pay close attention to the names they use here as the database prefix and
user prefix need to be filled out in the next step. For example, while doing this
tutorial, the dummy database that is created called test and we can access it on our
server by using bowthemes_Education.
www.bowthemes.com

BT Education
Step 6: Database Configuration

Select MySQL type of database from drop down list and enter the hostname of the database server Joomla! will be installed on
(normally it's "localhost").
This may not necessarily be the same as your Web server, so check with your hosting provider if you are not sure.
Enter the MySQL username, password and database name that you previously created on your host control panel.
when ready press next.
Step 7: Install Sample data
Step 8 : Main information configuration

The next page will give you a sense of your server compatibility. You will need to troubleshoot any of the flagged areas that are
unsuitable for a Joomla installation before you continue here. Once you get the all clear, click next again.
Step 9 : End of installation
Congratulations! The installation is successfully completed. However, before you enjoy your new website, you must delete "installation"
directory by clicking to button "remove installation folder" or renaming/deleting it via FTP.
After performing this step, click "Site" button to visit the homepage of your website. You will find the new website fully.
