RocketLauncher is a customized Joomla install, that installs a replica of the demo onto your site - inclusive of sample data, content, extensions, the template and sample images.

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

Step 1 - Upload

  • Download the RocketLauncher (rt_zephyr_j15-rocketlauncher.zip)
  • Unzip to reveal the rt_zephyr_j15-rocketlauncher folder
  • Upload
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

Ensure you click Install Sample Data during installation, otherwise your site will be blank.
Note: The Bundle Template is only necessary if the Gantry Library is not installed at /components/com_gantry.
