Corrections to the Easy VirtueMart 2 Install Instructions Wiki Page

[cmb]

Apparently it is not possible for most persons to edit the VirtueMart Wiki. (There is no way to register for user credentials.) Lacking that ability, I'll post my corrections here.

Here are several corrections and additions to the http://dev.virtuemart.net/projects/virtuemart/wiki/Easy_VirtueMart_2_Install_Instructions page.

In Step 2
Add the following sentences after ...be SURE it is marked STABLE VERSION.

The com_virtuemart.2.x.y_extract_first.zip version is preferred. If you need languages other than English also download the com_virtuemart.2.x.y_languages_extract_first.zip file. Note the words "extract first" in the file names. You must unzip (decompress) the files in the next step.

In Step 3
Replace
Unzip VirtueMart so you can see the two "zip" files (tar.gz).
with
Unzip the com_virtuemart.2.x.y_extract_first.zip file so you can see the two ".zip" files and the README-VIRTUEMART.txt file.

Replace
Double-click the file com_virtuemart.2.0.6_extract_first.zip to see the two zip files inside it, click the EXTRACT Button and save on your computer where you can find them easily:
with
Extract the two zip files and the README file to a folder on your computer where you can find them easily:

Replace
• com_virtuemart.2.0.6.tar.gz – the VirtueMart store files, and
with
• com_virtuemart.2.x.y.zip – the VirtueMart store files, and

Replace
• com_virtuemart.2.0.6_ext_aio.tar.gz – the All In One (AIO) Installer that configures most things the way you need them.
with
• com_virtuemart.2.x.y_ext_aio.tar.gz – the All In One (AIO) Installer that configures most things the way you need them.

Remove the next paragraph.
Consider that this files ... extract the tar file again.
It is not relevant.

In Step 4
Replace
From the Joomla Admin's top navigation bar, click EXTENSIONS – Extension Manager.
with
From the Joomla Admin's top navigation bar, click Extensions > Extension Manager > Install tab.

Replace
Click the BROWSE Button and select the first file to upload, your VirtueMart store files named similar to com_virtuemart.2.x.zip.
with
In the Upload Package File area, click the Browse... button and select the com_virtuemart.2.x.y.zip file from your local folder.

Replace
Repeat for the second file to upload, the VirtueMart All In One Installer, com_virtuemart.2.0.2_ext_aio.zip.
with
Repeat for the second file to upload, the VirtueMart All In One Installer, com_virtuemart.2.x.y_ext_aio.zip.

thanks, I used some of it.

In the last paragraph of Step 3, I suggest changing
Consider that this files work directly on your server...
to
Note that these files work directly on your server...

And then
...you get first a com_virtuemart.2.0.6.tar...
should be
...you get first a com_virtuemart.2.x.y.tar...
