The content of template package differs from our standard Magento templates so let us help you to deal with it.

The archive contains two folders :

• magento_1.9x_v.1.0
• magento_1.9x_v.2.0

magento_1.9x_v.1.0 folder contains the theme for Magento 1.9.1.0 version based on standard theme. This theme was available for purchase earlier.

magento_1.9x_v.2.0 folder contains updated theme for Magento 1.9.2.1 version based on RWD theme. This theme includes updated subpages design and Configurable swatches functionality.

Template update

Each update includes separate database dump that contains main page settings, blog and category listing page settings

There will be no visual design changes if you don't perform dump re-import. However you will see new section in the TM Store Settings section of your admin panel, where you can partially configure layout appearance. All the other settings should be configured as per the instructions in Ketty Theme Configuration section.

To get more information on how to configure pages, check the following topics: Magento theme installation and Ketty theme configuration.

Preparation

Before you proceed to set up your Magento store, please make sure you are fully prepared. Please complete the following preparation steps:

Editing software

To feel comfortable working with Magento template, we recommend downloading all the applications required. You can see the list of required software on the template preview page.
The requirements may vary for different templates, for most templates they are the following:

1. First, you need to use WinZip 9+ (Windows) and Stuffit Expander 10+ (Mac) to extract the password protected sources_#########.zip archive.
2. You may also need the Adobe Photoshop application. It is used to edit .PSD source files, and it is necessary if you want to edit template design graphics and images.
3. To edit template source code files, you need some code editor like Adobe Dreamweaver, Notepad++, Sublime Text, etc.
4. To upload files to the hosting server you may need an FTP Manager like Total Commander, FileZilla, CuteFTP, etc.

Hosting

As Magento Commerce is a PHP/MySQL based application, you need to prepare a hosting environment to run Magento.

If you have live hosting, please make sure it matches Magento requirements and is ready to be used for Magento store.

Otherwise, you can run Magento locally on your computer using the local server. To create a local hosting server please use the localhost applications such as WAMP, AppServ, MAMP etc. Any of those can be easily installed as any other program and used to run Magento.

Please check the following tutorials on how to configure the local development environment:

• How to install AppServ web development environment
• How to install WAMP web development environment
• How to install XAMP web development environment
