The Quickstart package is a full Joomla installation package. It is strictly for use with a new Joomla installation and is designed to provide you with an exact copy of the demo for that particular template. It cannot be installed on an existing Joomla site.
We use the Akeeba component to generate our Joomla Quickstart packages. You need to install the Quickstart package in the same way as a normal Joomla installation.
Browse the Account Dashboard and download one of the Joomla quickstart packages NAME_demo_package_j6.zip. Unzip it to your web server directory.
Once this is done, you can start the installation by visiting the URL of your site. It usually looks like this: http://mydomain.com/

All Pro template installation packages include 50+ extra add-ons, but the Uikit Assets plugin is not included or installed. This plugin loads the CSS/js libraries to add the functionality for Extra add-ons like Number counter, particlesjs, headline or light gallery add-on.

After install the Uikit assets plugin, go to Extensions -> Plugins -> search for extra then enable the System - Extra Addon Assets.
Note: The System - Extra Addon Assets plugin needs to be enabled to perform the Extra Add-on functionality. By default, the Enable Uikit Framework option is set to NO, if you are using Warptheme templates, just leave this option to NO because the template already included the Uikit framework.
