# Theme Installation

Before installing the theme, please make sure you unpacked the archive and extracted the theme files. If you try to install the wrong files, you will get the missing style.css error. This is the most common error that means you are trying to install an incorrect package.

There are two ways you can use to install the **Theme**. 

### Install from WordPress <a href="#install-from-wordpress" id="install-from-wordpress"></a>

1. Log in to your WordPress site. (`http://your-site.com/wp-admin`)
2. Go to **Appearance > Themes** and click on **Add New** **>** **Upload Theme**.
3. Select the **theme\_name.zip** file and click **Install Now** button.
4. The theme will be uploaded and installed
5. When the installation complete, click **Activate**. You will be redirected to steps in the popup wizard setup

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://7iquid.gitbook.io/carmelina-wordpress-theme/basic-installation/theme-installation.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
