# How to Install

### Install theme via WordPress dashboard

1. Navigate to **Appearance > Themes**.
2. Click the **Add New** button on top of the page, then the **Upload Theme** button.
3. Click **Choose File** and find the theme files you've just downloaded. If you’ve downloaded the installable WordPress file, then you do not need to unzip the file. If you’ve downloaded the Full Theme Package, you have to unzip the archive; there, you will see a secondary brandy.zip file; this is the one you select to install.
4. Click the **Install Now** button.
5. Click **Activate**, or go to `Appearance > Themes` and activate the theme.

In the very first time you install the Brandy theme on a WordPress website, there is a wizard to walk you through the steps of installing demos, recommended plugins, and sample content. These are optional, but very helpful on your initial setup.
