To help novice users with configuration of CMS - we provide packages called QuickStart.

The sample data in the quickstart package is also personalised according to the template and is much different to the sample data found in the default Joomla package.

• Uploading
  If you have shell access then you can upload the as002022_quickstart.zip file and unzip the zip directly on the server. Its much faster! If you don't have it, the package should be unzipped on your localhost and then uploaded on the server.
• Begining of installation procedure - Choose Language
  Open your web browser and navigate to the folder that you uploaded your package to. Your url might look like this http://www.mysite.com/joomla/index.php. Please choose language and click on the 'Next' button.
