You can check out Happy Lager online from demo.craftcms.com.

If you want to install the site locally, follow these instructions:

1. Download/clone the repo on your computer

    > git clone https://github.com/pixelandtonic/happylager.git
   

2. Set the permissions on happylager/craft/storage/ to 777

    > cd happylager
    > chmod 777 craft/storage
   

3. Set the permissions on happylager/craft/config/ to 744, 774, or 777 depending on the relationship between the user that Apache/PHP is running as and the user who owns the happylager/craft/config folder. (See the Craft installation docs for details.)

    > chmod 774 craft/config
   

4. Download the latest version of Craft from craftcms.com, and copy its craft/app/ folder into happylager/craft/.

5. Create a new MySQL database called happylager, and import happylager.sql into it.

6. Fill in the proper MySQL credentials in happylager/craft/config/db.php.

7. Create a new virtual host with the hostname happylager.dev that points to the happylager/public/ folder.

8. Edit your hosts file to resolve happylager.dev to 127.0.0.1, if necessary.

Now you should be able to point your web browser to http://happylager.dev/admin. You should either see a Craft login screen, or a prompt telling you that some database updates need to be run. If it’s the latter, just click “Finish up”.

Now point your browser at http://happylager.dev. You should see the Happy Lager homepage.
