This kind of installation can be used in case, you do not have a functional Magento store and want to use the Live Demo store as the template to build your actual store not starting from scratch.
The archive you've downloaded contains a fullpackage archive with Magento engine, Magento theme you've purchased and sample data (including banners, sliders, categories and products) you can see on the Template Live Demo.
To install the template you need to upload zipped fullpackage folder content to your server and run the Web Setup Wizard.
If you don't want to spend your time installing the template, don't hesitate to order installation service.
Step 2. Sample data import
Magento template package contains the sample data file (dump.sql). This file is located under the /sources/sample_data folder of your template. It allows you to load sample data, so that your website looks exactly like our demo template.
sample_data
contains Magento theme sample data files.
pub
contains files and directories that should be uploaded to the root directory of your Magento installation.
dump.sql
the database backup file. Contains the theme sample content.
Do not import dump.sql if you already have the data on your site. By importing dump.sql all the products will be erased from your store. If you do not want to install sample data, use clean database while installing Magento. Skip the sample data installation step.
In order to install the dump file, follow the steps below:
Log into cPanel > navigate to the Databases section and click on the phpMyAdmib icon.
Select the database (you've created earlier) that you will use for Magento Commerce.
Navigate to the Import" tab and click on the Browse button.
Find the "/sources/sample_data" folder of your template and select the dump.sql file. Click GO.
* The import process can take a few minutes.
Select the database (you've created earlier) that you will use for Magento Commerce.
