XYZ can be installed on your existing Moodle site with ease. The process is straightforward, and you’ll be up and running in no time.

⚠️ Important: Before you proceed, ensure you have a complete backup of your Moodle installation (both files and database).

❗ Note: When installing on an existing site, demo content cannot be imported automatically. You’ll need to set up the demo manually after installation.

Step 1: Upload the Theme

• Locate the theme files inside the Existing Installations/theme folder.
• Unzip the XYZ-name.zip archive.
• Upload the extracted XYZ folder to your Moodle server at:
  /theme/XYZ

Once uploaded, proceed to the next step.

Step 2: Upload Required Blocks

XYZ includes custom blocks that help you build rich, engaging Moodle pages.

• These blocks are located in the Existing Installations/blocks folder.
• Upload all block folders into your Moodle installation’s /blocks directory.

Then, continue to the next step.

Step 3: Upload Recommended Plugins

To enhance your site’s functionality, XYZ recommends installing a few third-party plugins such as a contact form.

• These are located in the Existing Installations/local folder.
• Upload the plugins to your Moodle site’s /local directory.

After uploading, proceed to the installation step.

Step 4: Installation Process

Now that the theme, blocks, and plugins are in place, it’s time to install them through Moodle:

1. Log into your Moodle site as an administrator.
2. Navigate to:
   Site administration > Notifications
   (or go directly to /admin/index.php)
3. You should see 20+ new installations pending. Scroll down and click “Upgrade Moodle Database now”.
4. Wait for the installation to complete. This may take a few minutes.
5. Follow any on-screen prompts. You may be asked to configure some settings — you can skip this for now by clicking “Continue”.

After successful installation, you’ll be redirected back to the Notifications page.
