Joomla is an open source platform on which Web sites and

applications can be created. It is a content management system (CMS)


which connects your site to a MySQLi, MySQL, or PostgreSQL database in
order to make content management and delivery easier on both the site
manager and visitor.

1. Click the Download button on Joomla’s page.


2. Download the compressed .zip or .tar.gz file, as appropriate for your
operating system.
3. Uncompress the Joomla files to the htdocs directory, or create a
subdirectory of htdocs and then copy the uncompressed files to that
subdirectory.
4.Your newly installed XAMPP directory contains a subdirectory named
htdocs, which is where you put the files you want to access when you
navigate to http://localhost in your browser.
5.Open your browser, and navigate to
http://localhost orhttp://localhost/xxxx (where xxxx is the name of the
subdirectory you created in Step 3).
The first Joomla installation page appears.
1. Select a language.
2. Click Next.

3. All items in the top pane of Pre-Installation Check page should


read Yes.

If you don’t see Yes for any item, contact your ISP’s technical support
department).

This page also displays a list of recommended settings. If you’re installing


Joomla on an ISP’s server, you don’t have a heck of a lot of choice about
these settings, because the ISP’s tech staff determines them.

4. Click Next.

5. Review the license and click Next to accept the terms.

The Database Configuration page comes up.


Here are the settings you have to make in this page, along with brief
explanations:

o Database Type: Choose MySQL.

o Host Name: Enter localhost.

o User Name: In this text box, enter the default MySQL


username root.

o Password: Enter the password.

o Database Name: Enter the name you used when you set up
your database.

6. Click Next.

Joomla tests the connection to the database. If everything works properly, it


takes you to the FTP Configuration page which you can skip.
7. Click next to skip the FTP configuration.
The Main Configuration page appears.
8. Enter the name of your new Joomla site in the Site Name text box.

This name will appear when you log in as an administrator.

9. Enter an administrator e-mail address in the Your E-Mail text box.

When you log into your new site, you’ll be the super user. The super user
has maximum control of the site.

You can create several super users, but you can’t delete a super-user
account. However, you can demote the account to a lower site permission
level and then delete it.

10. Enter and then confirm the administrator password you want to use.

Joomla gives you the option of installing some sample data to see how the
site works, and unless you’re an experienced Joomla user, you should
definitely do that.

11. Select the Install Default Sample Data button; then click the Install
Sample Data command button.

When you complete this step, the Install Sample Data button changes to
the Sample Data Installed Successfully button.

12. Click Next.


Note the message on the right side of the page, which gently reminds you
in gigantic red text to remove the installation directory.

13. Remove the installation directory.

To delete the Joomla installation directory, connect to your site by using


your FTP program, and delete the directory there.

14. Click the Site button to visit your new Joomla site or click the Admin
button to go to the administrator control panel.
