# Installation

[**Norsani**](https://codecanyon.net/item/norsani-multivendor-food-ordering-system/22255486) is a [**WooCommerce**](https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce/) plugin designed to work with [**WordPress**](https://wordpress.org). The reason I've chosen [**WordPress**](https://wordpress.org) is because it is the **most popular** and **easy to use** **content management system** on the web.

[**WordPress**](https://wordpress.org) **is used by** [**60.0%**](https://w3techs.com/technologies/details/cm-wordpress/all/all) of all the websites whose content management system we know. This is [31.6%](https://w3techs.com/technologies/details/cm-wordpress/all/all) of all websites and [**WooCommerce**](http://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce/) is used by [12.9%](https://w3techs.com/technologies/details/cm-wordpress/all/all) of all the websites who use [**WordPress**](https://wordpress.org).

I've developed [**Norsani**](https://codecanyon.net/item/norsani-multivendor-food-ordering-system/22255486) to be as smart as possible to completely install itself with a simple **click** so you do not need to worry about **hiring a developer** or being a [**WordPress**](https://wordpress.org) expert.

I will discuss two situations which you can be in one after purchasing and downloading [**Norsani**](https://codecanyon.net/item/norsani-multivendor-food-ordering-system/22255486).

### You already have a website?

In this situation there are two cases:

You are already using [**WordPress**](https://wordpress.org) as your CMS? if yes then simply install [**Norsani**](https://codecanyon.net/item/norsani-multivendor-food-ordering-system/22255486) like any other downloaded plugin:

1. Log in to your WP admin area and go to Plugins > Add New.
2. Browse to the [**Norsani**](https://codecanyon.net/item/norsani-multivendor-food-ordering-system/22255486) archive .zip file on your device and select it.
3. Click Install then click Activate after installation completes.

You are not using [**WordPress**](https://wordpress.org) as your CMS? then you have to create a sub-domain or buy a new domain and install [**WordPress**](https://wordpress.org) on it, you can do that using the integrated 1-click installation service for [**WordPress**](https://wordpress.org) in your hosting account.

### You still do not have a website?

In order to get set up your [**Norsani**](https://codecanyon.net/item/norsani-multivendor-food-ordering-system/22255486) system, you're going to need three things:

1. A **domain name** (a web address like example.com)
2. A **hosting service** (a service that hosts the files of your website and connects it to the internet)
3. [**WordPress**](https://wordpress.org) content management system.

To get your domain name and hosting account you can browse the web for a well-established **website hosting company** like for example [**TMD Hosting**.](http://www.tmdhosting.com/) However, selecting a hosting company is all **your choice** but make sure it includes features like **unlimited SSD space, unlimited bandwidth, a free domain, premium support and a free cPanel.** When ever you have choosing your hosting company you can simply **chat** with one of its sales reps. and complete the process of choosing your domain name and opening your hosting account.

The [**WordPress**](https://wordpress.org) platform itself is **free**, but a domain name and hosting will cost you around **$3 - $5 a month** (for a shared hosting plan). however after your business moves forward and you are getting **100+ orders daily** or have **60+ vendors registered**. I highly recommend upgrading your hosting plan to **VPS** for best performance.

After your domain and hosting account is ready, you should now **install** the [**WordPress**](https://wordpress.org) platform, you can do that either **manually** - I'm not going to explain this step as it might be a bit confusing for beginners - or **automatically** using the integrated **1-click installation** service for [**WordPress**](https://wordpress.org), most of the hosting company offer that for a quick startup.

The last step after your [**WordPress**](https://wordpress.org) website is ready is to install [**Norsani**](https://codecanyon.net/item/norsani-multivendor-food-ordering-system/22255486):

1. Log in to your WP admin area and go to Plugins > Add New.
2. Browse to the [**Norsani**](https://codecanyon.net/item/norsani-multivendor-food-ordering-system/22255486) archive .zip file on your device and select it.
3. Click Install then click Activate after installation completes.

After you install [**Norsani**](https://codecanyon.net/item/norsani-multivendor-food-ordering-system/22255486) you will be automatically directed to the [**Norsani**](https://codecanyon.net/item/norsani-multivendor-food-ordering-system/22255486) **Help Center**, if you have reached there, you're done and your online food ordering system is ready to go :D
