Overview

This guide covers a fresh installation of the jomSocial 3 component into the Joomla CMS. You will need a working Joomla! site in order to install JomSocial. Please refer to the article, minimum system requirements, to determine the requirements your server will have to meet.
If you are upgrading JomSocial, please refer to one of the following pages

Adding Support and Install Domain Licenses

Before you can proceed with the installation of JomSocial 3, you must add these domains into your account area. To do this please navigate to main JomSocial site and click at the "My Account" link in the top right corner

The area with your account information and all of the settings you can do from there will show up. If you're an old user, the account area will require you to fill up the basic account information such are first and last name, or any missing account data. Please, fill them up to proceed

Once account information is properly filled, you will be able to open "My Downloads" page with all of the purchases you ever made

For every license you might have, please enter the support and install domain

  • Support Domain - This will be the domain you will officially get technical support for
  • Domains you wish to install this product on - All additional domains you want to install the component on. No technical support will be provided for those.
LOCALHOST INSTALLATION If you are installing on the localhost, just enter the domain name of your live site in both, support and install domain. You are not required to define localhost as support or installation domain

Notice on top shows that we are installing component on localhost. When you install component on live site, the notice will be gone

When you're ready to install JomSocial, just enter the license number for the respective version of JomSocial you bought. License numbers can be found in My Downloads area at the main jomsocial site. When license number is inserted, press the blue Install button and installation will begin

Dont forget that even if installing on localhost, you will still need to define support and install domain in My Downloads area of main JomSocial site, otherwise, installation wont start and will return an error

Completing the Installation

After iJoomla Installer installs the component on the site, you can proceed with Complete Your Installation steps.

Hit the big green button from the screen above and first JomSocial installation screen will appear. Make sure all the requirements are met and then click Next.

Note: If any of the values are marked in yellow (like last one on our screen shot example), do not worry, JomSocial will probably still work since the values shown on this screen are Recommended and NOT the Minimum system requirements. To see the minimum system requirements, please click here.
