If you have developed a template or component for Joomla, you can provide your customers with a custom Joomla installation package that includes your demo setup. Here's how:
1. Create a copy of your site's folders and files.
2. Delete the "configuration.php" file -- IMPORTANT!
3. Get the full Joomla!(R) installation package from Joomla.org that matches the version of Joomla on your sample site.
4. Copy the folder "installation" from the Joomla install package to the copy of your site.
5. Export a copy of your database with structure and data, with "add drop table", and save into the copy of your sample site as /installation/sql/mysql/sample_data.sql.
6. Zip the copy of your site: select all the files and folders in your sample site, right-click and select "Send To" -> "Compressed (zip) Folder" if you are using Windows. If you have WinZip, right-click and select "WinZip" -> "Add to Zip File".
Your installation package is now complete.
