* Permissions
* Install Joomla

|| In this tutorial, we will learn how to:
* Obtain '''Joomla'''
* Create '''database'''
* Permissions and
* Install '''Joomla'''

|-
|| '''Show Slide 3'''
Systems Prerequisites

|| To install '''Joomla''' in your system, you should have a system supporting:
*'''Apache''' 2.x + or '''IIS''' 7+
*'''MySQL''' 5.0.4 + and
*'''PHP''' 5.2.4 +
Please note that '''MySQL''' 6 and higher versions are currently not supported.

|-
|| '''Show Slide 4'''
Installation of Apache, MySQL and PHP

|| You can either install these separately or together, using a web-server distribution like
*'''XAMPP'''
*'''LAMP''' or
*'''WAMP'''
Web-server distributions give you '''Apache''', '''MySQL''' and '''PHP''' bundled in one.
Refer to the '''PHP & MySQL''' spoken tutorials, for more details on '''XAMPP''' installation.

|-
|| '''Show Slide 5'''
Versions and OS

|| For this tutorial, we will be using:
*'''Ubuntu''' 14.04
*'''Joomla''' 2.5.22
*'''Apache''', '''MySQL''' and '''PHP''' obtained through '''XAMPP''' 1.8.2

|-
||

|| First of all, let me check if '''XAMPP''' is installed on my machine.

|-
|| '''Open terminal by pressing Ctrl+T'''

|| Lets open the '''terminal''' by pressing '''Ctrl + Alt + T''' keys.
Alternately, click on the '''“Terminal”''' icon in the launcher bar.

|-
|| Type '''sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start'''

|| Start '''XAMPP''' by typing '''sudo slash opt slash lampp slash lampp start'''

|-
||

|| It will prompt for your '''administrative''' password.

|-
|| Enter administrator password >> Press Enter

|| Enter the password for the '''administrator account''' through which you are logged in.

|-
||

|| Let me enter my '''administrative password''' and press '''Enter'''.

|-
|| '''Switch to browser''' http://localhost

|| Now, switch to the browser, and type '''http colon slash slash localhost'''

|-
|| Select '''English'''

|| You may require to select language if you are proceeding with it for the first time.

So, here let us select '''English'''

|-
|| In the left menu >> click on '''phpinfo'''()

|| In the menu on the left of the screen, click on '''phpinfo'''().

|-
|| Type '''Ctrl+F''' and write '''DOCUMENT_ROOT''' in the search window >> Press '''Enter'''

|| Now press Ctrl +F and search for '''DOCUMENT underscore ROOT.'''

|-
||

|| It will be found in the table '''“Apache Environment”.'''

|-
||

|| Value of '''DOCUMENT underscore ROOT''' will be either
*'''slash opt slash lampp slash htdocs''' or
*'''slash var slash www'''

|-
|| Point or highlight '''/opt/lampp/htdocs'''.

|| In my machine, it is '''slash opt slash lampp slash htdocs.'''

|-
||

|| Please note this path.

We are going to install '''Joomla''' here.

|-
|| Download '''Joomla (Browser)'''

'''http://joomla.org/'''

|| First we will download '''Joomla'''.

So, go to the official website of '''Joomla''', which is '''www dot joomla dot org'''.

|-
|| Point to the '''Download''' button >>Click on it.

|| You will find a '''Download''' button on this webpage. Click on it.

|-
||

|| You will be redirected to another webpage.

|-
|| Point to the '''“Download Joomla 2.5.22 Full Package, ZIP”'''. >>Click on it.

|| Here, you will see a button that says '''“Download Joomla 2.5.22 Full Package, ZIP”'''.

Click on that button.

|-
|| Click on '''Save File''' >> then on '''OK'''

|| Immediately, a small dialog box will open.

Here click on '''Save File''' option and then click on '''OK.'''

It will download '''Joomla.'''

|-
||

|| At the time of making of this tutorial, latest stable version was 2.5.22.

|-
|| Switch to the '''Downloads''' folder >> Point to the file

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

|-
|| '''Extracting Joomla'''

|| Let's create a new folder by the name '''joomla''' in our '''DOCUMENT_ROOT'''.

|-
|| Type
'''sudo mkdir /opt/lampp/htdocs/joomla'''

|| Go to the '''terminal''' window.

So, at the '''prompt''', type

'''sudo space mkdir space slash opt slash lampp slash htdocs slash joomla'''

and press '''Enter'''.

|-
||

|| If prompted, enter your admin password. You will have to do so whenever prompted, as we proceed.

|-
||

|| We now change directory to '''Downloads'''.

|-
|| Click on the folder window.

|| To see the required path, come to the folder window.

|-
|| Keep the cursor on '''Downloads''' in the '''Home''' folder >> see the tool-tip.

|| Move the cursor on '''Downloads''' folder in the '''Home''' folder and see the tool-tip.

On my system it is,
'''slash home slash ravi slash Downloads'''

|-
|| Switch to the Terminal.
Type
'''cd /home/Downloads'''

|| So, in the '''Terminal''', I will type the command:

'''cd space slash home slash ravi slash Downloads'''

and press '''Enter'''.

You will have to type the path shown on your system.

|-
||

|| Now we will extract the contents of the '''zip''' file of this folder into the '''joomla''' folder.

|-
|| Type
'''sudo unzip Joomla_2.5.22-Stable-Full_Package.zip -d /opt/lampp/htdocs/joomla'''

|| At the command prompt, type the command:

'''sudo space unzip space Joomla_2.5.22-Stable-Full_Package space hyphen d space slash opt slash lampp slash htdocs slash joomla'''

and press '''Enter.'''

|-
|| Type '''cd /opt/lampp/htdocs'''

|| To specify the permissions of the folder '''joomla''', let's go to '''DOCUMENT_ROOT'''.

Type,
'''cd space slash opt slash lampp slash htdocs'''
and press '''Enter.'''

|-
|| Type '''ls'''

|| Let us list the files in this directory. So, type '''ls''' and press '''Enter.'''

|-
|| Type '''sudo chmod 777 joomla/'''

|| Let's give '''read''', '''write''' and '''execute permissions''' to the '''owner''' and the '''group members''' of '''joomla''' folder.

|-
||

|| So type -
'''sudo space chmod space 777 space joomla slash'''

and press '''Enter.'''

|-
||'''Show Slide 6:'''

Creating database

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

We will do this in '''phpmyadmin'''.

'''Phpmyadmin''' is the graphical user interface for '''MySQL'''.

It comes along with '''XAMPP''' installation.

|-
|| Switch to the browser and type http://localhost

||Switch to the browser and type
'''http colon slash slash localhost'''

|-
|| Creating Database:
Click on '''phpmyadmin'''

||On the '''XAMPP''' page, in the menu on the left, under '''Tools''', click on '''phpmyadmin'''.

|-
||

||We can also create the database and user on '''MySQL''' command line.

|-
||

||However, '''phpmyadmin''' is much simpler and user friendly.

|-
|| Click on '''Users''' >> click on '''Add User'''

||Click on '''Users''' in the top menu and then click on '''Add User''', to create a new user.

|-
||Type '''Joomla-1'''

||Enter a '''username''', let's say, '''Joomla-1'''

|-
||Select '''Local''' from the dropdown

||From '''Host''' dropdown list, select '''Local'''.

|-
||In '''Password''' textbox >> Type '''joomla123'''

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

You can enter any password of your choice.

|-
||Re-type '''joomla123'''

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

|-
||Point to the option

||Note – Pls do not respond to '''Generate Password''' prompt for now.

|-
||Point to '''Create a database with the same name and grant all privileges'''

||Under '''Database for user''', we can see the option
'''Create a database with the same name and grant all privileges.'''

|-
||Click on it >> Click on '''Go''' button

||We will check that option and click the button '''Go''' at the bottom right of this page.

|-
||

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

|-
||

||Make a note of the '''username''', '''password''' and '''database''' names.

These will be required later to complete the '''Joomla''' Installation.

|-
||'''Show Slide 7:'''
Rules and Naming Conventions

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

|-
||'''Show Slide 8:'''
Prerequisites completed

||We are now ready to install '''Joomla'''.

We have '''XAMPP''' running and our '''database''' is ready.

And we have extracted '''Joomla''' into the folder '''joomla''' in '''DOCUMENT_ROOT'''.

|-
||'''(Switch to browser)'''

http://localhost/joomla

||Go to the browser.

Type '''http colon forward slash forward slash localhost forward slash joomla'''

Pls note – '''joomla''' is the folder into which we extracted.

|-
||Press '''Enter'''

||Press '''Enter''' and you will see the '''Joomla''' installation page.

|-
||

||By default, we are in step number one, that is, '''Language'''.

'''Joomla''' can be installed in multiple languages.

|-
||Select ''English''' >> click on '''Next''' button.

||We will select '''English (United states)''' here.

Click on '''Next''' button at the top right.

|-
||Click on '''Next''' button.

||We are at the '''Pre-Installation Check''' stage.

Let’s go with the default options.

Click on '''Next''' button at the top right.

|-
||Click on '''Next''' button.

||Now we are on the '''Licence''' page.

Please read and click '''Next''' at the top right.

|-
||'''Database (browser):'''

Select '''MySQL''' from DropDownList

||So, we come to the '''Database Configuration''' page now.

Select '''“MySQL”''' as the '''database type'''.

|-
||Type '''localhost'''

||Enter '''“localhost”''' as the '''Host Name'''

|-
||Point to '''username''', '''password''' and '''database name'''.

||Now, we have to enter the '''username''', '''password''' and '''database names'''.

These are the ones we created earlier, in '''phpmyadmin'''.

|-
||Type '''Joomla-1'''

||I will enter '''Joomla-1''' as the '''username'''.

|-
||Type '''joomla123'''

||Then '''joomla123''' as the '''password'''

|-
||Type '''Joomla-1'''

||and '''Joomla-1''' as the '''database name.'''

|-
||

||Leave the '''table prefix''' as it is.

|-
||Select '''Backup''' >> Click '''Next'''

||In '''Old Database Process''', select '''Backup'''.

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

Click on '''Next''' button at the top right.

|-
||

||This step may take some time.

Its because the server tries to connect to the database and check the configurations.

It will give an error if '''MySQL''' is not running or if you have given any incorrect details.

|-
||'''FTP Configurations (browser)'''

||Next step is the '''FTP Configuration.'''

We don’t need to enable '''FTP''' because we are installing '''Joomla''' on our local server.
So, click on ''' Next''' button at the top right.

|-
||'''Main configuration (browser):'''

Type''' Digital India'''

||We are now on the ''' Main''' ''' Configuration''' page.

Enter the site name that you want your website to have.

I will write it as ''' Digital India'''

|-
||Type '''priyanka@spoken-tutorial.org'''

||Email id is a compulsory field. Please enter a valid email id here.

I will give the id as ''' priyanka@spoken-tutorial.org'''

|-
||

||Next, enter the ''' username''' that you want for the ''' Joomla''' administrative page.

|-
||Type''' admin'''

||I will enter ''' username''' as ''' admin.'''

|-
||Type''' ''' '''admin123'''

||Enter a password for the ''' Joomla''' administrator.
I will enter ''' admin123 ''' as the ''' Admin password.'''

|-
||Retype''' admin123'''

||Retype the password in the confirmation box.

|-
||Point to the button '''Install Sample data'''

||There is a button named ''' Install Sample Data''' below the '''admin''' details.
This will install the site with some sample articles, menus, plugins etc.
These help a beginner to understand ''' Joomla'''.

|-
||Click''' Next'''

||You may press this button if you wish, when you are installing ''' Joomla''' for the first time.
I will not do so.
Click ''' Next''' button at the top right.

|-
||'''Final Step (browser and terminal)'''

||We are on the '''Finish '''page, the final step in the installation process.
Here it informs about Joomla's security feature. Pls read this message.

|-
||'''Click Remove Installation Folder button'''

||Under the message, there is a ''' Remove Installation Folder ''' button.
Click on it to remove the installation folder.

|-
||

||If you get an error in this step, you must remove the folder manually.
I got an error because I am not logged-in as ''' linux''' ''' superuser''' and don't have ''' delete permission'''.

|-
||Switch to '''terminal.'''

Type '''cd joomla '''
Type ''' sudo rm -rf installation/'''

||So, now let us switch to the ''' terminal.'''
We will delete the installation folder manually from the '''joomla''' folder. This is mandatory.

So, type
'''cd joomla'''.

Then type
'''sudo space rm space hyphen rf space installation forward slash. '''

|-
||Switch to browser

'''Type localhost/joomla'''

||After successful removal of the installation folder, switch to the browser.
Type
'''localhost forward slash joomla'''

You have reached your website!

|-
||

||Since I did not install sample data, I do not see '''menus, articles''' etc., right now.

|-
||Type ''' localhost/joomla/administrator/'''

||Lets go to the '''administrator page ''' from where we can administer our website.

So, go to
'''localhost forward slash joomla forward slash administrator forward slash'''

|-
||Type ''' admin'''

Type ''' admin123'''

||Login with your '''administrator ''' login and password.
I will type '''admin '''in '''username''' and '''admin123''' in '''password'''.

|-
||

||As your website is installed, you have the ''' administrator access.'''

|-
