How to Install Magento Absolute Theme


Log in to the official Magento website and click on 'Magento Connect' at the far right-hand side of the home page toolbar.
Click on 'Designs and Themes' in the right hand sidebar of the 'Magento Connect' marketplace and then click on page 2 to find the entry for 'Magento theme Absolute Theme (10 colors included).'
Click on the entry to open its download page.
Click on the orange 'Get Extension Key' button. Check off the checkbox and select version 1.0 in the 'Magento Connect Version' pulldown menu for all compatible versions. For the Community Edition 1.4.2.0-RC1, you will need to select 2.0.
Click on the gray 'Get Extension Key' button.
Copy the extension key that appears in the white text box that replaces the 'Get Extension Key' button. It should begin with 'magento-community' for version 1.0 or http://connect20.magentocommerce.com for version 2.0.
Log in to your Magento site with your administrator log-in and password. Wait for the admin menu to appear.
Click on 'System' and then 'Magento Connect,' followed by 'Magento Connect Manager' in your admin menu.
Paste the extension key that you copied in step 6 into the 'Paste extension key to install' field (option 2) in the 'Install new extensions' menu.
Click on the 'Install' button. Wait for a message to appear showing that the installation is complete. This should only take 30 seconds or so.
Return to the main admin menu, and click on 'System' followed by 'Configuration.'
Click on 'Design' and then 'Themes' in the configuration menu.
Type the word 'Absolute' in the 'Default' field of the 'Themes' menu and click on the 'Save configuration' button.
Open your site in a new browser window to make sure the new theme loads correctly. See step 15 if the home page does not load properly.
Click on 'CMS' and then 'Manage pages' in the admin area and disable the one-column home page before enabling the two-column option if the site does not load properly.
Add products or use the site as you normally would.
