Step 4. Browse for [path-to-your-downloaded-package]/Sample Data/newstube.xml or newstube.xml.gz and click Upload File and Import.

Step 5. After uploaded, the confirmation page appears. Check the Download and import file attachments option and click Submit.  If you have trouble with importing (it might breaks in the middle due to long execution time), try again with this option Unchecked! Or, try to import separate files as they are smaller

Step 6. After uploaded, the confirmation page appears. Check the Download and import file attachments option and click Submit

Step 7. When you see message “All done. Have fun!”, you will know that the import is done.  Note: you may need to re-import the second time if the data is large. Back to Step 1. until you see the message below
