Magentech provides SM Quickstart package for each template which aims to ease the installation for users. It will help you save much time of installing and configuring if you plan to start your site from the beginning.

  • Step 3: Create a database for your Magento (using phpmyadmin)

  • Step 4: Start installation by opening browser and navigate to your url (where the quickstart uploaded) to load default Magento installer.

  • Step 5:  Finish installation

Important notes:

  1. Do not use "localhost" in URL, otherwise you could not log in your admin (you should use your local IP if installing on your computer.).
