How to install Component & Modules

The Download Link received via email after the purchase, will let you download a zip file for the Full Package of the extension. The Full Package will contain all the installer files for the main component and for the modules, all for any supported Joomla version.

The downloaded ZIP file should be unzipped and you should browse the content of the extracted folder to find the required installation files to upload on your Joomla! site.

The unzipped folder will contain a sub-folder for each supported Joomla version. For example, you may find a folder named Joomla 2.5 and Joomla 3.x whereas the first folder will contain all the installer zip files for Joomla 2.5 while the second folder will contain the installer files for any Joomla 3 version (X stands for any sub-version).

Browse the correct folder depending on the Joomla version that you are using and locate the files .zip whose name starts with com_vikxxxx or mod_vikxxxx. Those are the installation files that should be uploaded from the page Extensions - Extensions Manager, tab Install of the administrator section of your Joomla site.

At the end of the installation, you will find the main component installed and visible from the Components menu. All the modules like the Search Form instead will be available from the menu Extensions - Module Manager.
