Step 1: download the smarty package from http://smarty.php.net/download.php


Step 2: Unzip the content.

Step 3: Rename it to your application name.

Step 4: Copy and paste it to your server's root folder.

Step 5: Create "templates_c" folder inside your application folder.

Step 6: Create setup.php inside configs folder. paste following code.

Smarty();

$this->template_dir = $path.'templates';
$this->compile_dir = $path.'templates_c';
$this->cache_dir = $path.'cache';
$this->config_dir = $path.'configs';

$this->caching = false;
}
}

?>
