Preparations
The PrestaShop e-commerce engine requires a MySQL database to store data. Prior to installing PrestaShop, please make sure you have already created a MySQL database. This can be done through your hosting control panel using the phpMyAdmin tool.
Please check the detailed tutorial on how to create a MySQL database. If any issues occur, please contact your hosting provider for further assistance.
While installing your MySQL database, you will need to specify the database name, username, password and the database server. Remember these details as you will need them for PrestaShop installation.
PrestaShop engine installation
1. Server requirements
Please make sure your hosting server meets thePrestaShop requirements:
- System: Unix, Linux or Windows. Unix is highly recommended.
- Web server: Apache Web server 1.3 or later, Microsoft's IIS Web server 6.0 or later, and nginx 1.0 or later.
- PHP 5.2* or later.
- MySQL 5.0 or later.
- At least 32 Mb of RAM on your server (64 Mb is comfortable, the more the better).
PrestaShop will work with PHP 5.1 or later, but the versions lower than 5.2 have bugs which might prevent some functions from working as expected (like invalid date timezone).
2. Downloading
To install PrestaShop, you need to download the PrestaShop engine package from the official website at www.prestashop.com/en/downloads
Just insert your name and e-mail into the Download box input and click the 'Download' button.
Please make sure your version of PrestaShop engine matches the template requirements. All versions of PrestaShop are available at SourceForge.
3. Extracting Files
Once the PrestaShop engine package is downloaded, you will need to extract its files and folders from the archive.
This can be done with any archive manager like WinZip(PC), StuffitExpander(MAC), etc.
Please check the following tutorials on how to extract files from the archives with WinZip(PC) and StuffitExpander(MAC).
Please note: if your hosting control panel has the option to 'Extract' files, you can use it to extract the files directly on your server after the .zip file is uploaded.
4. Uploading PrestaShop engine files
If you have extracted the files locally to your computer, you will need to upload them to your hosting server.
This can be done using the hosting control panel File Manager or third party FTP Manager applications like FileZilla, TotalCommander, CuteFTP, etc.
You can check the detailed video tutorial on how to upload files to server using FTP manager and how to upload files to a server using cPanel (WebHost Manager, WHM).
5. PrestaShop engine installation
When you are done with the files upload, you can start the PrestaShop engine installation. Open your web browser and type in the 'domain name/path to your PrestaShop directory' in the address bar, then reload the current page. You should see the welcome screen. Please follow the instructions below to install PrestaShop.

If everything is correct, click the 'Next' button.
Step 4: Shop configuration
This step requires you to enter the store settings like Shop name, activity, country, timezone, etc.
All these settings can be changed later in your PrestaShop administration panel.
Step 5: System Configuration

Otherwise, you can get the database details from your hosting control panel or by contacting hosting provider.
When you are done, click the 'Next' button.
Step 6: Installation is complete
This is the final step of the installation.
For security reasons you need to delete the /install/ directory on your hosting server.
Starting with version 1.5.4, PrestaShop takes care of renaming the administration folder for you: it becomes the word "admin" followed by 4 random digits, i.e. "admin8814." The renaming happens as soon as you reach the "admin" folder for the first time: PrestaShop renames it, then correctly accesses the renamed folder.
Log in to the PrestaShop back office by going to your newly renamed "admin" folder, and start filling your catalog with your data.
