How to Install a Theme in Drupal 6.X

Drupal's system for themes is flexible and makes sharing themes particularly easy, allowing even beginner Drupal webmasters to present sophisticated user interfaces. Best of all, they are so simple to install and to activate - literally a 3-step process.


1. Download your new theme.


2. There are many Drupal theme sites which display themes to select from:

* Drupal.org
* Theme Garden
* All Drupal Themes.com
* and many more...

# Uncompress your new theme to your website's themes/ folder.

1. If you are on a linux server and have the necessary permissions, upload the archive to the server, then - tar -zxvf /path/to/theme_archive_file /path/to/Drupal/themes/
2. If you do not have such access, you'll most likely need to uncompress the theme and upload the folder to the themes/ folder on the server.

# Navigate in your browser, logged in as your administrator account, to http://your.domain.tld/?q=admin/build/themes

1. Find your new theme in the table.
2. Select the enabled box to allow your site's users to use this theme.
3. Select the default radio button to make this theme your site's default theme.

* Most Drupal themes allow further refinement and customization, and a configure link will show up next to your current default theme.
* Unselect all other enabled themes to require users to use this theme.
