QuickStart Installation

QuickStart package is to minimize time and effort in installing the theme as per Demo site. Please kindly note that, with QuickStart, all your existing data will be overwritten. Thus, we recommend using QuickStart for your first installation or just in case you want to refresh your site to the very beginning.

1. Upload the folder quickstart to your server. In QuickStart folder you will see the extracted folder that includes all sample data.

2. Create a database for your Magento store (using phpMyAdmin).
