Then upload and decompress the file “Theme Files/magento 2.1.0/theme_files.zip” into webroot folder (which you setup magento 2 before):

Step 2: Upload the file [theme_name]_media.zip (ex: ves_oshop_media.zip) in to webroot and decompress it. The file stored sample images of the theme.

 Step 3: Go to your site ( It will require you run command code to setup upgrade )
