When I install the magento2, I am unable to install sample data, the 'Use Sample Data' is disabled. I am unable to install sample data. How can I fix it ?
Note : I was able to install magento2 without sample data.
For sample data, create a new Database. Before setting up magento, first download 'magento-sample-data-1.6.0.0.tar.gz' file from here http://inchoo.net/magento/magento-sample-data/
Extract it which will have a sql file. Import it from phpmyadmin or terminal into your newly created database.Also copy media/catalog folder into your magento's media
Then install magento using same database name.
