We will present you the way to install theme manually step by step in this tutorial. Take Ves Oshop ( one of our themes) as an example.

To install theme manually, you have to pass through 7 steps below:

Step 1: Decompress the theme package (ex: ves_oshop_full.zip) into your PC.
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 )
