title: how to install downloaded wordpress theme in xampp
body: <p>I am trying to install a theme I downloaded from <a href="http://themeforest.net" rel="nofollow">this website</a>.
  I am using XAMPP and I am not sure how to install this dowloaded theme using XAMPP.<br>
  I tried installing this theme with the zip folder (in zip format) in Wordpress but I get the error
  ” The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet.
  Theme install failed. “</p>
  
  <p>I <a href="http://wordpress.org/support/topic/the-theme-is-missing-the-stylecss-stylesheet" rel="nofollow">found a similar</a> on Wordpress website but they mentioned using FTP but I don’t know how to use FTP with XAMPP</p>
  
  <p>I want to install the theme and test it out locally before I make it live or buy a domain name.</p>
  
  <p>This is my first time doing this (I am a student) so I don’t totally know how things work together, don’t know if I am using the description/terms but I hope I described the problem well enough. </p>
  
  <p>How to go about this? Any help will be appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
