Installing Joomla!
Before you can begin using Joomla! you will need a working installation of Joomla! If you want your site to be available on the Internet, make sure that you have an account on a web server. For most people this means signing up with a hosting company and purchasing a domain that will serve as your site's main address.

- Already have a hosting company? Joomla! is offered by most hosting companies under "One Click Installs" (also called Auto Installers) for their customers. The "One Click Install" method offers an "instant" installation of Joomla! which is quick and easy. Follow the instructions your host provides.
- Use the conventional method of installation. This requires you to copy the Joomla! zip file to your hosting account, unzip, create a database, and then run the installation. Complete instructions can be found at Installing Joomla. Further information can be found at Joomla! Installation Resources.
- Install Joomla! on your own computer (without your site appearing on the Internet), you can install it using the XAMPP package. Install XAMPP and then use the "conventional method" to get your Joomla! test site working.

Prima di iniziare a creare il vostro sito Joomla!
Before you jump into making your own articles, categories, tags, web links, contacts, banners, and news feeds, you may want to review Planning Your Web site. There are many aspects of creating a web site to consider. For example, deciding if you want to enable Search Engine Friendly URLs and how enabling or disabling Search Engine Friendly URLs later will destroy the rankings your pages acquired with search engines such as Google, Bing and Yahoo.
Perhaps you already have a website. Then you should read Converting an existing website to a Joomla! website and learn more about converting your static website.
One of the first tasks you may want to do is to modify one of the templates that comes with Joomla! so that it displays your site name and logo.
- How to change the image(s) in your template.
- How to modify a Joomla! template.
Finally, you may want to install one or more of the thousands of extensions to Joomla!. Most Joomla! extensions are listed in the official Joomla! Extensions Directory (JED). Once you've found an extension to install, you'll have to follow the procedure for installing a Joomla! Extension.
Please remember that all extensions are developed by independent developers. If you need help with a specific extension the best source will be that developer.
Getting Help in the Joomla! Forums
The Joomla! forums are the among the busiest (and most friendly) support forums in the world, and they are a great place to get help and meet other Joomla! users.
- Before posting, check the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) on the docs wiki.
- Please make certain you search the Forum post first before posting a question. Nine times out of ten someone else had the same issue that you had.
- Make sure you are posting in the right forum for your topic.
- Be clear and specific in your request for help. Entries like “Help! It doesn’t work!” tend to get ignored. Try to explain everything that led up to your problem. Try to explain what your problem is. Be clear about what you want to happen. And, thank those who bother to help!
- Use the Forum Post Assistant to help you provide more information and better explain your problem.
- If your question/problem was solved, mark your thread as solved by editing the first post you made in that thread and changing the topic icon to the green check mark with a circle. You can also add [Solved] to your topic title. By doing this you allow other members who are doing searches to easily differentiate between solved and unsolved issues. This also saves the volunteers' time of having to open up solved topics.
- As soon as you know things, start answering questions. Answering questions is one of the best ways to learn.
- If someone helps you, say thank you and pay it forward by answering a question yourself.

Capire come funziona Joomla!
Potresti voler imparare come è costruito Joomla! e come le sue caratteristiche lavorano insieme.
In breve, Joomla! è composto da un Framework e extension. Ci sono diversi tipi di estensioni, ciascuno in grado di svolgere compiti specifici. Alcune estensioni sono sviluppate come parte del progetto Joomla! e vengono fornite con la vostra installazione. Se volete aggiungere funzionalità al vostro sito, potete installare altre estensioni.
È possibile confronta questo con un sistema operativo per computer, come Microsoft Windows o Linux. Non si utilizza direttamente il sistema operativo (Joomla!); si utilizzano applicazioni (estensioni) per svolgere compiti. Alcune applicazioni (estensioni) sono immediatamente disponibili sul vostro sistema, ma possono installare e rimuovere applicazioni aggiuntive (estensioni) in qualsiasi momento.
La Guida alle caratteristiche principali di Joomla! scribd, scritto da James Ramsay descrive le caratteristiche (soprattutto le estensioni) disponibili in ogni download di Joomla!
