Theme Installation

Step 1: Prepare Installation

In this guide, we assume that you already have Magento installed, so to prepare installation, you need to do the following steps:

  1. Backup your Magento source files and your store database
    2. Creating a backup is very important before installing the theme, especially when you are working on a live site. Please don't ignore this stage.
  2. Disable all cache on your Magento site including:
    • Magento Cache (System > Cache Management)
    Magento Cache Management Screenshot
    • Any additional cache on your server, for instance, PHP cache engines, APC, ...
  3. Enable Maintenance mode for your store before uploading theme source.
  4. Download theme package fastest-magento2-themepackage_vX.X.zip, extract this package and upload folders: app, pub, themesetup, lib,... to your Magento folder.
  5. Make sure that you upload all theme folders and files successfully. You disable Maintenance Mode for your store. Following this step, at your web browser, you input URL http://themesetup to begin installing theme by Setup Wizard (refer to next part Theme Setup Wizard guide)
