    Install the .tar file into the archive_in folder on your FTP. Then go into Admin_CP and import skin in Skins and Templates, you should see it in the list. Select it and your done.

    Upload it into "uploads" folder, go into ACP.

    Skins & Templates/Import Skin files
    Choose template and upload it.

    Remember that you must give group permissions to let members change the skin. You can also make it default.
