How to Install Joomla!

Installing Joomla appear challenging at first.  No worries. We are hear to help! We have created Joomla install videos & guides to make the learning curver much better.

In additon to the standard Joomla install method, most large hosting companies have created custom 1-Click Joomla installers.  These installers are super simple to use.  After you have used the one-click installers a couple of time, venture up to the standard installer, it requires a few extra steps but you will gain a much better grasp on how Joomla works.
