# Installation

## 1. Use the Boostheme Toolkit app <a href="#upload-a-theme-file" id="upload-a-theme-file"></a>

If you haven't purchased the theme yet, you can use the Boostheme Toolkit app to install our themes with a trial mode. That will help you to experience our themes before deciding to buy.

* Install the Boostheme Toolkit app, please refer to [this guide](/shopify-apps/boostheme-toolkit-app.md) for more details.
* From your Shopify admin, open to Apps > Boostheme Toolkit app. Click **Install themes** on the top menu.

Otherwise, you can add your purchase code to the [Manage licenses](/shopify-apps/boostheme-toolkit-app.md#2-edit-size-chart) page, then click the **Install now** button in each home style without the trial mode.

## 3. Publish a theme

The uploaded theme appears in the Unpublished themes section. You can install a maximum of 20 themes in your store. To publish the theme on your online store, click Publish theme. Your current published theme will become unpublished.

And you can click the "**Actions**" > "**Publish**" to publish the theme. A published theme is the theme that customers see when they visit your online store. Your published theme appears in the **Current theme** section of the **Themes** page, and your unpublished themes appear in the **Theme library** section. If you publish a new theme, then your previously published theme moves to the **Theme library** section. None of your theme changes are lost. &#x20;
