Chapter 1. Getting Started with OpenCart 2.0

OpenCart is an e-commerce cart application built with its own in-house framework, which uses the Model-View-Controller-Language (MVCL) pattern. Thus, each theme is in the OpenCart view folder, and every module follows the MVCL pattern. In this chapter, we will describe some basic settings in OpenCart version 2.0, and help you set up the required environment for template designing, or theme designing, and module making.
