The Hexus template made by the Helix Ultimate framework. There is no need to install the framework separately. The framework includes the Hexus Template .zip file. The framework will be installed with the template installation.

You will get the System - Helix Ultimate Framework plugin. Click on the check box, now hit on the Enable button to enable the plugin.

Quix Pro Installation

There are two files of Quix. First one is Quix 4 which is a full package of Quix page builder. The Quix 4 package file name is pkg_quix_pro.zip, the file size is 11MB. Joomla allows you to upload maximum 2MB size files for the installation. It is difficult to increase the upload maximum file size from the server/cPanel for a user who does not have technical knowledge.

That is why we are recommending our users to install the Quix installer file. The Quix installer file name is com_iquix-1.7.0.zip and the size is only 48KB.
