RocketLauncher Instructions

We always recommend installing a RocketLauncher first to trial and understand the template more effectively. It must be installed as new, and not over an existing Joomla install.

Step 1 - Upload

• Download the RocketLauncher
• Unzip the file
• Upload the created folder to your server

Note: You can upload all the files via FTP, or use cPanel or SSH to upload the zip and unzip directly onto the server. Enquire with your hosting provider.

Step 2 - Installation

• Go to www.yoursite.com/*folder name*
• Follow the Installation instructions
• Remove the installation folder in the Installation interface
