1- Introduction

This installation guide will help you install Ice Future Free Joomla Template, the first IceTheme Joomla 3 template.
There are 2 ways of installing the template:
1- Using the Clone Installer Package
2- The manual Installation (the traditional installation of Joomla)
Which one should you use?
IceTheme recommends using the Clone Installer as it will reproduce a copy of the demo that you have seen in
minutes and without difficulties. All the extensions of IceTheme will be positioned and configured ready to work. On
the other hand the manual installation requires that you install Joomla first and then install and then configure all
the extensions one by one through the backend. This takes time and increases the possibilities for errors.
However, you have to consider one thing: the Clone Installer installs the Sample Data of the template and
automatically erases any text or images that you may have had on the site. So, if you are installing the template on
an existing site whose content you want to store DO NOT USE the Clone Installer. Instead get use of the manual
installation, which will be explained later in this document.
