Installation Instructions

This guide covers the basics of installing a template.

Downloading the necessary files

To install the template, you will need one of the following files:

• Somaxiom Template (Standalone) rt_somaxiom_j15.tgz - This is the standalone template file that you use to install into Joomla.
• Somaxiom Template (Bundle) rt_somaxiom_j15-bundle.tar.gz - This is the bundle package, containing the template and Gantry library files, that you use to install into Joomla.
• RokNavMenu rt_somaxiom_j15-extensions.zip or mod_roknavmenu.zip - This is required for the menu to work, either download from the extensions package in the Somaxiom download section or from the RokNavMenu download area itself.

There are other files that you may wish to download that accompany the release, but are not required for the template to work.

• Somaxiom Source PNG(s) rt_somaxiom_j15-sources.zip - This contains all the Adobe® Fireworks PNG source files for the template, and if applicable, the logo font.
• Somaxiom Extensions rt_somaxiom_j15-extensions.zip - This package contains all the extensions that accompany the template release.
• Somaxiom RocketLauncher rt_somaxiom_j15-rocketlauncher.zip - The RocketLauncher pack is a full Joomla install that contains all the demo content, including extensions and the template.

Step 1 - Using the Joomla installer
