Once you’re ready to install your theme, follow either of these two ways:

* Extract your theme zip file at **.../wp-content/themes**. Once the file is extracted, your theme will automatically appear in **Appearance → Themes** tab of your WordPress admin site.
* Go to **Appearance → Themes → Install Themes →  Upload**. Press **Browse** button, select your theme zip file and click **Install Now**.

If the installation is successful, you will see the message " **Theme installed successfully**" and you will be asked to activate the theme right away or later. You can activate your theme anytime by accessing **Appearance → Themes.**
