1. Open up your xampp/wamp (windows) or mamp (mac), then put your downloaded codeigniter 3.1.3 in your htdocs.. Once you view it in your browser you should see a welcome page, see the image below.
2. Go to wiredesignz folder that you downloaded a while ago and inside of that folder you will see two folders and files inside.

• Then, we need to copy the third_party folder inside of wiredesignz downloaded folder and copy to application/third_party folder . See the image below.

• Copy MX folder
• Paste it inside codeigniter application third_party folder.

Implement HMVC Pattern.

 

• Create new folder inside of your application, and named it “modules“. then you can create users module that will handle all about users login, profile, transaction etc.

 

• To access your first hmvc module  in codeigniter, open up your xampp/wamp (windows) or mamp (mac). In my case,
  
  http://localhost/codeigniter-3-hmvc/index.php/users

  1	http://localhost/codeigniter-3-hmvc/index.php/users
