It should be installed like Joomla itself, step by step. It is not possible to install the Quickstart package inside an existing Joomla installation (website) via the Extension Manager. Why? Because the Quickstart also includes the Joomla itself. This package is strictly for use with a new Joomla! installation to provide you with a duplicate of our demo for that particular template. QuickStart may not include illustration photos.

Warning! The QuickStart package cannot be installed through the Joomla Extension Manager.

You have to install Quickstart just like a typical Joomla 3.x installation process, with all typical steps.

Installing procedure

1. Open your browser and navigate to your main domain (i.e. https://mydomain.com), or to the appropriate subdomain (i.e https://mydomain.com/new/), depending on where you have uploaded the Joomla installation package.
2. You will be taken to the first screen of the Joomla Web Installer.
   Notice! We suggest using a new/fresh database (MySQL 5+) for QS installation.
3. Please do not use "admin" as your Super Admin Username (!).
4. Use something more unique during the installation process - security reasons.
5. Default Demo sample data will be automatically installed on your server.
6. After a successful installation, you should see a successful message.
7. Remove the index.html file from the root folder - if you have it.
8. Rename htaccess.txt into .htaccess - SEO and security reasons.
9. Login to admin area https://www.domain.com/administrator or https://www.domain.com/new/administrator.
