	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 nderscore uROOT.
(Switch to browser) http://localhost/joomla	Go to the browser. Type http colon double slash localhost slash joomla Pls note that joomla is the folder into which we extracted.

Type Joomla-1	I will enter Joomla hyphen 1 as the username.
Type joomla123	Then joomla123 as the password
Type Joomla-1	and Joomla hyphen 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. It is 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

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 I 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 slash. Press Enter.
Switch to browser Type localhost/joomla	After successful removal of the installation folder, switch to the browser. Type localhost 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 slash joomla slash administrator Press Enter.
Type admin Type admin123	Login with your administrator login and password. I will type admin as username and admin123 as password.
	As your website is installed, you have the administrator access.
