PREPARATION
ABOUT
--------
To install PrestaShop, you need a remote web server or on your computer (MAMP), with access to a database like MySQL.
You'll need access to phpMyAdmin to create a database and to indicate the information in the database in the installer.
PrestaShop is a free and open-source e-commerce web application, committed to providing the best shopping cart experience for both merchants and consumers.
SERVER CONFIGURATION
--------
To install PrestaShop, you need a web server running PHP5 and any flavor of MySQL5 (MySQL, MariaDB, Percona Server...).
You will also need a database administration tool, such as phpMyAdmin, in order to create a database for PrestaShop.
We recommend the Apache or Nginx web servers.
If your host does not offer PHP5 by default, here are a few [explanations][2] about PHP5 or the .htaccess file for certain hosting services (1&1, Free, Lycos, OVH, Infomaniak, Amen, GoDaddy, etc).
If you want your online store ready to go, visit [http://www.prestabox.com][1]: it lets you create your online store in less than 10 minutes without any technical knowledge.
If you do not host and unable to create your store, we offer a turnkey store, which lets you create your online store in less than 10 minutes without any technical knowledge.

INSTALLATION
--------
Simply go to your PrestaShop web directory and use installer :-)
With your web browser, go to the root of your PrestaShop directory, and the installer will start. Follow the instructions until PrestaShop is installed.
If you have any PHP error, perhaps you don't have PHP5 or you need to activate it on your web host.
Please go to our forum to find pre-installation settings (PHP 5, htaccess) for certain hosting services (1&1, Free, Lycos, OVH, Infomaniak, Amen, GoDaddy, etc).
If you have any PHP error, perhaps you don't have PHP5 or you need to activate it on your web host. See the page linked above.
