Hello Nairalanders,
today we are going to learn how to install joomla quickstart templates.Most template clubs deliver their templates as a quickstart package which means it contains both the template and a complete joomla installer which when installed,contains all the extensions and plugins for added funtionality.Remeber that quickstart packages are installed using the sample data that comes with all joomla installations.
Step 1.download the quickstart package usually a zipped file
Step 2.upload this zipped file to the public_html of your site i.e the root folder of your site using Ftp or file manager in your hosting account cpanel.
Step 3. Extract this zip file using the extract button in your root folder.
Step 4.go to phpmyadmin in cpanel and create a database taking note of the username, password and name of the database.
Step 5. Open your favourite browser type your domain and the normal joomla installation process will start.follow all the steps and when you come to the database site fill in the database details you created in step 4.Remember to install sample data cos it will act as a demo to help customise the joomla premium template we installed in the quickstart package.
