I have a site that exists already. We'll just say [ www.mysite.com](http://www.mysite.com). I want to install HikaShop to that site (domain). But in order for someone to get to the HikaShop part of the site they should go to [ www.mysite.com/market](http://www.mysite.com/market). So should I create a directory in Joomla called Market and install HikaShop to it? I just don't want the HikaShop installation to mess up what already exists on the site (what you currently see when you go to [ www.mysite.com](http://www.mysite.com)).

Thanks")* You install HikaShop and HikaMarket in Joomla just like any other Joomla extension - nothing to worry about file structure on the server or so. Then, in Joomla, you can create menu items to the shop and/or market, e.g. in your main menu an item with name "Market" and alias "market". The link will then be exactly what you want.
