<h3>Downloading the necessary files</h3>

<p>To install the template, you will need one of the following files:</p>

<ul>
	<li><strong>Grunge Template (Standalone)</strong> <em>rt_grunge_j15.tgz</em> - This is the standalone template file that you use to install into Joomla.</li>
	<li><strong>Grunge Template (Bundle)</strong> <em>rt_grunge_j15-bundle.tar.gz</em> - This is the bundle package, containing the template and Gantry library files, that you use to install into Joomla.</li>
</ul>

<div class="notice"><div class="typo-icon">Only use the Bundle package on a clean install, or on an install that does <strong>NOT</strong> have the Gantry library already installed - <em>/components/com_gantry</em>. Use the standalone package if the Gantry library is already present.</div></div>

<p>There are other files that you may wish to download that accompany the release, but are not required for the template to work.</p>

<ul>
	<li><strong>Grunge Source PNG(s)</strong> <em>rt_grunge_j15-sources.zip</em> - This contains all the Adobe&reg; Fireworks PNG source files for the template, and if applicable, the logo font.</li>
</ul>

<h3><span>Step 1</span> - Using the Joomla installer</h3>

<ul>
	<li>Login into the Joomla administrator (<a href="#">http://yoursite.com/administrator</a>)</li>
	<li>Go to <strong>Extensions &rarr; Install/Uninstall</strong></li>
	<li>Select the browse button and find <strong>rt_grunge_j15.tgz</strong> or <strong>rt_grunge_j15-bundle.tar.gz</strong></li>
	<li>Click <strong>Upload &amp; Install</strong></li>
</ul>

<p>The template is now installed.</p>
