Automatic Installation

Backend Login Screen

You need to have the priviliges of an Administrator / Superadministrator to install Elements.

3. Click 'Installers' => 'Components' (or 'Components' => 'Install/Uninstall' when using an older

Mambo version) in the Top Menu.

List of installed components

Caution

You must check if the directories listed above the component list are writable! If the

directories are not writable, use ftp or JoomlaXplorer to change the permissions. For

proper installation, the directories should be set to 777, after that you can change back

to 755.

In the part 'Upload new component' select the file 'com_virtuemart_x.x.tar.gz'. This is

the package file which contains all files for the VirtueMart Component, located on your computer

(see Step 1).

Now click on 'Upload File & Install'. Since the tar.gz file is about 2 MB in size, you will have to

wait a moment while the file is being uploaded to your server and unpacked.
