Install and convert HTML into joomla template

Hi Joomla Seekers,

i have faced a problem converting HTML to joomla template , so i am here just want to share my experience
you easily integrate your template or Cascading style sheet design in joomla

Please follow the step which i have mentioned below

Step 1

Download joomla updated version and unzip joomla downloaded folder
paste it into your local server folder and start your local server after that
open browser and write down the absolute path of folder

example: http://localhost/joomla (joomla is folder name)

Click enter the installation is going started

along with you must have to create your database in PHPmyadmin or database
the name should be same of database whenever you started installation of joomla

at the time of installation of joomla three thing is necessary

1 user name of database that is by default (root)
2 password of database of database that is null () by default
3 and third one is your database name which you have mentioned

after installation of joomla you have to change the name of one folder which is
inside the root folder
