# Installation

* 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.

## 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The uploaded theme appears in the Unpublished themes section.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 Your current published theme will become unpublished.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 Your published theme appears in the **Current theme** section of the **Themes** page, and your unpublished themes appear in the **Theme library** section.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;
