2. then i download about 4-5 templates that im interest to my MAC.
3. i compress the files to tar.bz2 n upload the files to my server.

cmd ::

- open my MAC terminal.
  ** Aaliyahs-MacBook-Pro:~ aaliyahdora$ cd Downloads -> ls


- then i upload all the templates files to the server.
  ** Aaliyahs-MacBook-Pro:Downloads aaliyahdora$ scp green-ornamental.
     tar.bz2 dora@192.168.56.10:/home/dora/public_html/smf/Themes
  ** Aaliyahs-MacBook-Pro:Downloads aaliyahdora$ scp Boxit_2.
     tar.bz2 dora@192.168.56.10:/home/dora/public_html/smf/Themes
  ** Aaliyahs-MacBook-Pro:Downloads aaliyahdora$ scp Salava_1_0_x.
     tar.bz2 dora@192.168.56.10:/home/dora/public_html/smf/Themes

  ** Aaliyahs-MacBook-Pro:Downloads aaliyahdora$ scp Dirt_3_SMF2.
     tar.bz2 dora@192.168.56.10:/home/dora/public_html/smf/Themes


- extract the files in folder themes.
- open SMF and import the file from server.

HOW TO USED SMF TEMPLATES.

let say i want to import extreme templates folder

- FROM A DIRECTORY FROM SERVER :/home/dora/public_html/Themes/extreme

- Copy of Default named : extreme

- click install

then you can choose to use which one templates you want in 
"OVERALL FORUM DEFAULT" & Reset it to everyone.


example of templates in my SMF.
 

for the first time doing this, i got a problem..

when i click to install the templates from the server, it's always
appear the link like this ::

****  [That theme directory doesn't exist, or doesn't contain a theme!]

for   [dora@localhost Boxit_2]$ pwd
      >> /home/dora/public_html/smf/Themes/Boxit_2

****  if i success installing the themes, templates that i download dont 
      hav the image and backgound.

noted :: this is because centOS6 got little problem with chmod/permission.

then i tried to chmod all my templates files.

cmd ::

try n error :

[dora@localhost Themes]$ 
chmod 777 /home/dora/public_html/smf/Themes/Boxit_2/* 
chmod 777 /home/dora/public_html/smf/Themes/Boxit_2/*.*
[dora@localhost Themes]$ 

**** when i used this 2 cmd, i can see the Boxit_2 template name already
     in the list of template in my SMF but when i choose the template as
     default.. there's no background & image attach. it is just like a 
     plain html without css.

then i try this cmd :

[dora@localhost Themes]$ 
chmod -R 777 /home/dora/public_html/smf/Themes/Boxit_2/

**** when i reload the pages. it's well done. suddenly i got beautiful 
     templates in my SMF. Then i do the command to all the templates 
     folder in server.
