The installation of magento theme is quite simple. You just need follow steps below to get your theme ready for your Magento store:

• Upload folders skin and app from our download package to your Web server's document root (from here on, referenced as {docroot}). These files will overwrite default folders skin and app in your Magento folder, you should see a directory layout like this:

  {docroot} /magento/

  app/
  index.php
  js/
  lib/
  LICENSE.txt
  media/
  pear/
  skin/
  var/

• Login your Magento Admin area (ex: access Magento Admin area on a stage localhost: http://localhost/magento/index.php/admin/)
• Navigate to System>Configuration>Design as per screenshort below (Suppose that you are installing our Magento template JM Purity, follow steps below to see how to configure. For other template (i.e. jm_newtheme), you just simply replace text jm_purity with jm_newtheme)

• Fill texts to the "Package" and "Themes" sections as per screenshorts below:

• Click button "Save Config" to save your configuration

You are done! The new Magento theme is now ready to go!
