# Motors Installation

After purchasing the Motors on ThemeForest, you'll need to [download the theme installation package](https://docs.stylemixthemes.com/motors-theme-documentation/general/included-files) from your ThemeForest account. Login to your [ThemeForest](https://themeforest.net/downloads) account and navigate to the Downloads menu in the profile icon at the top-right corner. On the opened page, find the **Motors** purchase, click the **Download** button, and from the dropdown, choose **Installable WordPress File Only**.
