Once you finish this installation method, you should get exactly the same copy of this Demo site on your server. Let's start!

1. Unzip file "hot_tennisXX_hotstart.zip" from the archive you downloaded after purchase. Unzip this archive to your computer.
2. Using FTP software (such as FileZilla) upload all files and folders to your hosting space. Make sure that folder, where you uploaded files, is writable by server (chmod 755).
3. In browser, open address http://www.your_site_address.com/joomla/index.php (change "your_site_address.com" with your site address, change "joomla" with folder name where you uploaded files, if you uploaded files to the root folder, you don't need this).
4. Select your language and click Next.
5. The installer will check your server to find out if it's compatible with Joomla. If you see any parts marked red, please contact your hosting provider to resolve the problem. If all items are green, you can click Next.
6. You can read Joomla License and click Next.
7. You should enter MySQL database connection parameters now. Please enter Host Name (usually "localhost"), username, password, and database name and click Next. If you get an error message, please check database parameters. If you don't know correct parameters, please contact your hosting provider.
8. On FTP Configuration page, you can enter parameters of your FTP server. This is not necessary and can be entered later if needed. So, just click Next.
9. On Main Configuration screen you should enter Site Name, e-mail address, administrator's username and password (twice). Click Install Sample Data button. (Otherwise, demo content won't be imported). Once you get "Sample data installed successfully" message, you may click Next.
10. As the Finish screen says, please remove "installation" folder from your server (use FTP software).
