When you are done with the preparations you can start downloading the Magento engine and Magento template files to your computer.
Download correct Magento engine version
At the template preview page, in the requirements section you can see the required Magento version. Please make sure you are downloading the correct one.
The Magento engine could be downloaded from the official website at Magento.org Download > Community Edition. In case you need more recent releases you can click the Release Archives tab at the top of the Download page.
Please be attentive in selecting the download options. First of all you can can see Full Release, Preview Release and Downloader options.
- We highly recommend the Full Release download option. It’s the best option for Magento installation on a live hosting server.
- Preview Release is a demonstration beta version of the latest Magento version. It can’t be used for a live website.
- As for the Downloader option. It has some benefits, but there are some compatibility issues that can cause installation errors on some servers. Also the Downloader could be used to install only the latest version of Magento. If you need more recent one please go to Release Archive tab and select the full release of the version you need.
You can download Magento engine in zip, tar.gz and tar.bz2 formats. We recommend zip.
Download Magento template
After the template purchase you got an e-mail with the link to the purchase details page. There you can see your order details and download the template using the Download button.
The template is provided as a ZIP file. Download it to your computer and save it.
