<div class="alert"><div class="typo-icon">Important: This tutorial covers installation of the standalone version of the theme which <strong>DOESN'T</strong> contain the demo content. If you'd like to replicate our demo please install the RocketLauncher package. The tutorial on how to do that can be found under Tutorials in this demo content.</div></div><br />

<h3><span>Downloading</span> the necessary files</h3>
To install the theme, you need two files:-
<ul class="triangle normalfont">
  <li><strong>Ximenia Theme</strong> <em>(rt_ximenia_wp.zip)</em> - This file is the standalone theme package you will use to install your theme into WordPress.</li>
  <li><strong>Gantry Plugin</strong> <em>(gantry_wordpress_framework.zip)</em> - This file contains the Gantry Framework Plugin and it's <strong>required</strong> in order to have our themes working.</li>
</ul>
There are other files that you may wish to download that accompany the release, but are not required for the theme to work.
<ul class="triangle normalfont">
  <li><strong>Ximenia Source PNG(s)</strong> <em>(rt_ximenia_wp-sources.zip)</em> - This contains all the Adobe Fireworks PNG source files for the theme, and if applicable, the logo font.</li>
  <li><strong>Ximenia RocketLauncher</strong> <em>(rt_ximenia_wp-rocketlauncher.zip)</em> - The RocketLauncher pack is a full WordPress install that contains all the demo content, including plugins and the theme.</li>
  <li><strong>Ximenia Plugins</strong> <em>(rt_ximenia_wp-plugins.zip)</em> - This contains all the plugins used in the theme. You can install each of them separately.</li>
</ul>
