To help novice users with configuration of CMS - we provide package called QuickStart.
A quickstart is basically a fully functional and customized Joomla! package containing the default Joomla installation package, all modules,
choosen template and plugins with all the configurations and data in one place. 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.
The quickstart package cannot be installed via Joomla Extensions manager.
Unzip the downloaded template package 'unzip_me_first_vxxx.xxxxxxxxxxxx.002xxx.zip'
Unzip the quickstart package.
Upload the content of the package on your server into the directory where your Joomla should be installed.
Run the URL based on the Kickstart file and location. For example: https://your_domain_name.com/kickstart.php.
You will see a warning screen labeled "Things you should know about Akeeba Kickstart."
Make sure that the quickstart package is in the same folder as the kickstart.php file. Please make sure to read through the warnings.
