If all the components have green marks in the “Status” field you can click the Continue button to move to the configuration step. If you see any red marks in any of the requirements, you have to contact your hosting provider for checking the server issue and correcting them.
7. The next step will be Configuration, you will have to fill in the options with your database and the administration details.
Use the database details you created before, try to keep ‘oc_’ as a database prefix for a successful sample data installation (the website will not look as same as the live demo if you use any other prefix).
Type the desired username, password, and email in the administration section, and click the Continue button.
8. Now the installation is complete, rename or remove the ‘install’ folder as you will no longer need it, also it is necessary for security purposes. You can explore your front-end or check the administration panel.
