The following instructions will help you to install your template.
1.Installation
There are two ways of installing:
1) Through the admin section of your Joomla! CMS
2) Manually (by copying all template files in the templates directory of your Joomla! CMS)
Installing through the installer of your Joomla! CMS:
— In the administrator section of your site please, go to the main menu, Extensions • Install/Uninstall.
— Then in the “Upload package file” section please, open the File upload dialogue box by clicking on the “browse” button, find the zipped template, click Open and then click Upload file & install.
Then go to the administrator’s section, by using the main menu please, go to Extension • Template manager • Site templates. Then choose the newly installed template by clicking on the radio box and click “Default” in the upper right corner. This will enable your template as a default one for your site.
Installing through the admin section of your Joomla! CMS site:
— The first thing to do is to copy the template to the “templates” folder of your Joomla! CMS. Then go to the administrator section and through the main menu go to Extension • Template manager.
— Choose the newly installed template by clicking on the radio box and select “Default” option. This will enable your template as a default one for your site.
2.Modules Configuration
There are two ways of configuring template modules:
a) by importing .sql file into the joomla database
b) manually configuring template modules
a)
ATTENTION: import .sql file ONLY if your site is a clean installation of Joomla! CMS, and you haven’t created any content, articles, modules, etc. This step will erase all the work you’ve already done to your site. Otherwise, skip this step and read the next one - “Manually configuring template modules”
Importing dump.sql file into your joomla database
To install dump.sql file you should do the following:
— Open your PHPMyAdmin tool (which is part of your Hosting Control Panel).
— Select the database you created for Joomla! CMS.
— Select “IMPORT” option and click “Browse” button
— Navigate to the “sources” folder of the template and select dump.sql file.
— Press “GO” button. When the import is done, you need to complete only one more step, described in this document - “7. Images Preview”
If you don’t have much experience with PHPMyAdmin tool, please check this video tutorial on how to complete the steps above

Manually configuring template modules
Our templates are supplied with predefined module positions, for instance top menu is placed on the top block. That means that the “top menu” module should be assigned to Top position in the modules section. Right after Joomla! installation, modules are assigned to different positions, in order to make the template look as our live demo please, assign the modules to their positions and change the class suffix values in the following way.
a) In the administrator section please, go to Extension • Module Manager
b) Open each module from the list bellow and assign it to the given position by applying the class suffix as it is given in the table below:
