Log in to your website's administrative panel and locate the Fantastico icon, which is usually a smiley face. Click this icon to begin the Joomla installation process.
From the main Fantastico Web page, locate and click on the Joomla 1.5 hot link and select the new Joomla installation option.
By default, a new installation will assume that you will be installing Joomla into the root directory of your website (www.yoursite.com), which is usually the case. If your requirements dictate a different directory, the process does allow you to do so easily.
Assign an administrator user name and password. These credentials will be used to log in to the back end of the website, where most of the work will take place (www.yoursite.com/administrator).
Assign the administrator email address, administrator full name and the name of your website. This information can all be changed later if needed.
Lastly, you are presented an option to install sample data. If you lack Joomla experience, the sample data will be invaluable to help you learn where everything is, what it does, and how it was configured. Then, click the Install button.
Experiencing Joomla
Once Joomla has been properly installed using Fantastico, navigate to the administrative side of your new Joomla site. Open a browser to your website address followed by /administrator (i.e., http://www.yoursitename.com/administrator). Log in with your administrative credentials created during the installation.
From the control panel, explore the Global Configuration area, where you can set the global site meta description and keywords used by search engines to find your website. Configure the search engine optimization settings as appropriate.
Visit the Article Manager and open the various sample pages created from the sample data installation. Note the section, category, and access level settings specifically. Create new sections and categories as required. Modify the viewing access levels on some articles.
Explore the User Manager. Create and modify user accounts and their respective viewing permissions. Log in with one of the new accounts you create. Note which articles you can view with one or more new accounts.
Delve into the Menu Manager by editing existing sample menu items as well as creating new ones. Create a new menu and attach pages, sections and categories to it.
Review the Media Manager and note where and in what format your images can be stored.
