| Welcome to the Spoken Tutorial on '''Installing Joomla on Windows'''.

|-
| 00:07
| In this tutorial, we will learn to: Obtain''' Joomla''',  Create '''database '''and  Install''' Joomla'''

|-
| 00:16
| To install '''Joomla''' in your system, you should have a system supporting:  '''Apache''' 2.x or''' IIS''' 7 (or any higher version),  '''MySQL''' 5.0.4 (or any higher version) and,  '''PHP''' 5.2.4 (or any higher version)

|-
| 00:38
|Please note that''' MySQL''' 6 and higher versions are currently not supported.

|-
| 00:45
| Web server distributions give you''' Apache, MySQL/MariaDB''' and''' PHP''' bundled in one.

|-
| 00:53
|You can either install these separately or use a web server distribution like''' XAMPP''',''' WAMPP''' or '''LAMPP'''.

|-
|01:02
| To record this tutorial, I will be using:  '''Windows '''8 OS,  '''Joomla''' 3.7.2,  '''Apache, MySQL''' and''' PHP''' obtained through''' XAMPP''' 5.6.28 

|-
| 01:19
| First of all, let us check if '''XAMPP''' is installed on our machine.

|-
| 01:24
|Click on the '''Windows''' icon on the keyboard and type '''XAMPP''' in the search bar.

|-
| 01:29
|If you do not get any result, '''XAMPP''' is not installed.

|-
| 01:34
|You have to do the '''XAMPP''' installation.

|-
| 01:37
| Refer to the '''XAMPP''' installation tutorial in the '''PHP & MySQL''' series on this website.

|-
| 01:44
|Follow the instruction given in this tutorial to install the latest version.

|-
| 01:50
|While recording this tutorial the latest version is 5.6.28

|-
| 01:56
| I have already installed '''XAMPP''' on my machine.

|-
| 02:00
| Click on '''XAMPP Control Panel'''.

|-
| 02:03
|Start the '''Apache''' and '''MySQL''' services by clicking on '''START''' button on the respective services.

|-
| 02:11
|To stop the services, we have to click on '''STOP''' button.

|-
| 02:16
| You may get some error messages like:

|-
| 02:19
|'''“Apache shutdown unexpectedly”'''

|-
| 02:22
|Or  '''“Port 80 in use for Apache Server'”'''

|-
| 02:26
|Or  '''“Unable to connect to any of the specified MySQL hosts for MySQL database'''.”

|-
| 02:34
|This is because the default '''ports '''allotted for A'''pache '''and '''MySQL '''is taken by other software.

|-
| 02:42
|Default '''port '''number for '''Apache '''is 80 and for '''MySQL''' is 3306.

|-
| 02:51
| To change these ports refer to the XAMPP Installation tutorial in the PHP & MySQL series on this website.

|-
| 02:59
|Please allot proper port numbers before proceeding further.

|-
| 03:04
| Once you have installed and started''' XAMPP''', switch to the browser.

|-
| 03:09
| In the address bar, type [http://localhost/ localhost] to see your''' XAMPP''' home page.

|-
|03:15
| In the menu on the top right of the page, click on '''phpinfo()'''

|-
| 03:21
| Now, press '''CTRL+ F''' key and search for''' DOCUMENT underscore ROOT'''. 

|-
| 03:28
| It will be something like '''C:/xampp/htdocs''' depending on where '''XAMPP''' is installed in your machine.

|-
| 03:37
|Please make a note of this because we will need to install '''Joomla''' in this particular folder. 

|-
| 03:44
| Now, let us download '''Joomla'''.

|-
| 03:47
| Go to''' Joomla''' official website [http://www.joomla.org/download.html http://www.joomla.org].'''

|-
| 03:54
| Click on '''Download & Extend '''in the top menu.

|-
| 03:59
|Click on '''Joomla Downloads''' and then click on '''“Download Joomla 3.7.2 Full Package, ZIP”'''.

|-
| 04:10
| Immediately, a small dialog box will open.

|-
| 04:14
|Here click on '''Save File '''option. Then click on ‘Ok” button.

|-
| 04:22
|This will download '''Joomla.'''

|-
| 04:25
| At the time of making of this tutorial, latest stable version is 3.7.2

|-
| 04:32
| I have already downloaded this file and it is in my '''Downloads''' folder.

|-
| 04:37
| Let us go to the '''Downloads''' folder. Here, is the file which we downloaded.

|-
|04:44
| Right-click on the zip file and select '''Extract All.''' 

|-
|04:49
|Then click on ‘'''Browse'''’ to choose the destination.

|-
|04:53
|Now, we have to paste the folder in the webservers root directory.

|-
|04:59
|Browse to the location '''C:\xampp\htdocs. '''

|-
|05:06
|Click on '''‘Make a new folder'''’ and type '''‘Joomla’.'''

|-
|05:12
|Click on''' ‘ok’. '''Then click on''' ‘Extract’.'''

|-
|05:18
|This will create a new folder by name '''Joomla''' and extract the contents of the zip file.

|-
|05:26
| Before we go ahead with the installation, we need to create a '''database''' for '''Joomla'''.

|-
|05:33
|We will do this in '''phpmyadmin'''.

|-
|05:37
|'''Phpmyadmin''' is the graphical user interface for '''MySQL'''.

|-
|0\5:43
|And it comes along with '''XAMPP''' installation.

|-
| 05:47
| Switch to the browser and go to the '''XAMPP''' homepage.

|-
|05:52
|On the top right of the''' XAMPP''' page, you can see a link to''' phpmyadmin'''. Click on that.

|-
| 06:00
| Click on '''User accounts''' in the top menu. Scroll down and then click on '''Add User''' '''account.'''

|-
| 06:10
| Enter a '''username''', say, '''Joomla hyphen 1'''

|-
| 06:15
| From '''Host''' dropdown list, select '''Local'''.

|-
| 06:19
| Enter a '''password''' in the '''Password''' text-box, say '''joomla123'''.

|-
|06:25
|You can enter any password of your choice.

|-
|06:29
| Enter the same password in the '''Re-type''' textbox.

|-
| 06:33
| Please do not respond to '''Generate Password''' prompt for now.

|-
| 06:38
| Under '''Database for user account''', we can see the option,'''“Create a database with the same name and grant all privileges.”'''

|-
| 06:49
| We will check that option and scroll down to the bottom of the page.

|-
|06:55
|Click the button '''Go''' at the bottom right of this page.

|-
| 07:00
| This will create a new '''database''' with the name '''Joomla hyphen 1''' and  with a user '''Joomla hyphen 1'''.

|-
| 07:08
| Make a note of the '''username, password''' and '''database''' names.

|-
|07:13
|These will be required later to complete the '''Joomla''' installation.

|-
|07:18
| Please note: '''Database''' name and '''username''' need not be the same.
|-
|07:24
| To have different names, you can first create the '''database''' and then create a user for that '''database'''.
|-
|07:32
|Also, as per naming convention, '''username''' should not have any spaces in between.

|-
|07:39
| We are now ready to install '''Joomla'''.

|-
|07:42
|We have '''XAMPP''' running and our '''database''' is ready.

|-
|07:47
|And we have extracted '''Joomla''' into the folder '''joomla''' in '''DOCUMENT underscore ROOT'''.

|-
| 07:54
| Go to the browser.

|-
|07:56
|In a new tab, type '''localhost slash Joomla.'''

|-
|08:01
|Please note that J'''oomla''' is the folder into which we extracted.

|-
|08:06
| Press '''Enter''' and you will see the '''Joomla''' installation page.

|-
| 08:11
| By default, we are in step number one, that is, '''Configuration'''.

|-
|08:17
|'''Joomla''' can be installed in multiple languages.

|-
| 08:21
| We will select '''English (United states)''' here.

|-
| 08:26
| Scroll down to see the '''Main Configuration''' section.

|-
|08:30
|Enter the Site name that you want your website to have.

|-
|08:34
|I will have it as '''"Digital India".'''

|-
| 08:38
| We will leave the description blank.

|-
| 08:41
| '''Email-id''' is a compulsory field. Please enter a valid email-id here.

|-
|08:48
|I will give the id as '''"priyanka@spoken-tutorial.org"'''

|-
| 08:55
| Next, enter the '''username''' that you want for the '''Joomla Administrative''' page.

|-
|09:01
|I will enter the username as '''admin'''.

|-
| 09:05
| Enter a password for the '''Joomla Administrator.'''

|-
|09:09
|I will enter '''admin123''' as my '''admin password.'''

|-
|09:14
|Re-type the password in the confirmation box.

|-
| 09:19
| In '''Site Offline (Yes/No), '''please select '''No'''.

|-
| 09:24
| Now, click on the '''Next''' button at the bottom-right.

|-
| 09:29
| So, we come to the '''Database Configuration''' page now.

|-
|09:33
|Select '''"MySQL"''' as the '''Database Type'''.

|-
| 09:37
| Enter '''"localhost"''' as the '''Host Name.'''

|-
| 09:41
| Now, we have to enter the '''username, password''' and '''database names'''.

|-
|09:47
|These are the ones we created earlier, in '''phpmyadmin'''.

|-
| 09:52
| I will enter '''Joomla hyphen 1''' as the '''username'''.

|-
|09:57
|Note capital letter J in joomla.

|-
| 10:01
| Then '''joomla123''' as the '''password'''

|-
| 10:05
| And '''Joomla hyphen 1''' as the '''database name.'''

|-
| 10:09
| Leave the '''Table Prefix''' as it is.

|-
| 10:13
| In '''Old Database Process''', select '''Backup'''.

|-
|10:17
|This is to take backup of tables with identical names as in the database, when '''Joomla''' is upgraded.

|-
|10:25
|Click on '''Next''' button at the bottom right.

|-
| 10:29
| We are now in the '''Finalisation and Overview''' page.

|-
| 10:34
| In the '''Finalisation''' section, locate '''Install Sample Data'''.

|-
| 10:39
| By default, one of the radio buttons will be selected.

|-
|10:43
|The options listed here, will install some sample '''articles, menus, plugins, '''etc. on the site.

|-
|10:52
|These are useful for a beginner to understand '''Joomla'''.

|-
|10:56
| You may choose one of the options, when you are installing '''Joomla''' for the first time.

|-
|11:00
|I do not wish to do so. So, I will choose the '''None''' option.

|-
| 11:06
| Scroll the page below and check the '''Overview''' information displayed here.

|-
| 11:12
| Now click on the '''Install''' button on the bottom-right.

|-
|11:17
|This step may take some time.

|-
| 11:20
| Once done, we will see the message '''"Congratulations! Joomla is now installed"'''.

|-
| 11:27
| Scroll down and see, there is a '''Remove Installation Folder '''button.

|-
|11:32
|Click on it to remove the '''installation folder.'''

|-
| 11:36
| If we get an error in this step, we must remove the folder manually.

|-
|11:41
| After successful removal of the '''installation folder''', click on '''site''' button.

|-
|11:47
|We have reached our website!

|-
| 11:50
| Since I did not install the sample data, I do not see '''menus, articles''' etc., right now.

|-
| 11:57
| Let's go to the '''administrator page.'''

|-
|12:00
|In the URL, type '''localhost slash Joomla slash administrator'''

|-
|12:07
|Press '''Enter'''.

|-
|12:09
| Login with the '''administrator login '''and '''password'''.

|-
|12:13
|I will type '''admin''' as username and '''admin123''' as password.

|-
|12:19
|Click on ‘'''Log in'''’ button.

|-
| 12:21
| As our website is installed, we have the '''administrator access.'''

|-
| 12:27
| Let us summarize.

|-
|12:29
|In this tutorial, we learnt to: Download '''Joomla '''from '''Joomla '''website, Create '''database '''in '''phpmyadmin '''and Install '''Joomla '''on a '''Windows '''machine.
