### B) Theme installation - top

1. I recommend you to read OpenCart documentation to get know how to use all features in this engine.
2. If you are using Windows based (XAMP/MAMP/Other) hosting/server be shure that PHP settings "short_open_tag" is set to ON. Contact your hosting probider if you dont know how to set this PHP value, before installing theme. If your short_open_tag = OFF you will get error "unexpecting end of file" after theme installation on Windows based server.
3. First of all install latest (1.5.6,1.5.6.x) official Open Cart version from Open Cart website. If your have older OpenCart update it to 1.5.5.1 or newest version.
4. Open folder UPLOAD from purchased archive and upload all content inside it (folders image, catalog and admin) to your installed Open Cart directory:

   You can Drag and drop the admin, image and catalog folders into your site using your favourite FTP client (If you don’t have one, we recommend Filezilla).
   You will be asked if you want to replace some of the files from your current installation - you must click YES to replace all files.
   Don't worry - no core files will be replaced, all your old modules and themes will works as always.

   If you are Mac OS user we strongly recomend to use FileZilla client for theme upload, becouse MacOS finder can replace folders with files incorrect!
5. Go to your Open Cart admin panel System > Settings > Edit. Click Store tab and choose vista theme for "Template" option. This action will activate your new theme.
6. Go to your Open Cart admin panel System > Settings > Edit. Click Image tab to open Image settings.
   Setup this image sizes:
7. IMPORTANT: If you want that your product images and thumbnails will fit theme nice (like on demo site) we recomend your to use 1000x1000 px image size for your product photos! (or other size proportional to this size).
8. Go to your Open Cart admin panel System > Settings > Edit. Click Option tab and set Default item per page value to 10:
9. In your Open Cart admin go to Extensions > Modules.
   In ANY module with product display (Features, Latest,Bestsellers, , etc) that you want to use now or later you must set correct image size (228x319) for product display:
10. In your Open Cart admin go to Extensions > Modules and click Install near to "24WebGroup Theme Setting Panel" module:
11. In your Open Cart admin go to Extensions > Modules and click Edit near to "24WebGroup Theme Setting Panel" module. You will open Theme Setting Panel.
12. Click "Save theme settings" button first time, because you use this module firstly.
    Now module is setuped to work with Theme, but you need to configure some features that you need in this Theme Setting Panel.
