A theme can be installed in Moodle/Totara by two different methods:

A) Installing theme via FTP

1. Login to your FTP client server where your Moodle/Totara is installed
2. Go to Moodle “Theme” directory and place the theme folder which you have extracted from the Zip in it
3. Ensure that the New Theme folder and its contents are readable by the server. Change the Read and Write permission of it (incorrect permission may prevent the display of newly installed theme)
4. Login to your Moodle site and go to Administration > Site administration > Notification, you will see a Notification for theme to be installed. Click “Upgrade Moodle Database now” button to continue.

B) Installing theme via uploaded ZIP folder
