  2. A message may popup and warn you that there are similar files already on your server. You will need to select overwrite to overwrite the same files. If not, don't worry, it will still work.
  3. Log in to your backend of your Magento Administration and go to "System"→ "Configuration" then select "Desgin" Tab under GENERAL. Open the "Themes" section, then enter "mt_sunflo" for "Default" field , and then click "Save Config" button.
  4. Disable the Cache in System → Cache Management. Select all options. Then either refresh or disable your cache. Refresh means it will refresh your cache, Disable will disable your cache. We recommend disabling your cache when installing your theme and re- enabling it after you are done installing.
