Please make certain you have installed the themes you want to use in the
`/themes` directory.

To use a theme for a site, execute Hugo with the following parameter:

    hugo -t ThemeName

or add this line to your site configuration:

    theme:                      "ThemeName"

The *ThemeName* must match the name of the directory inside `/themes`.

Hugo will then apply the theme first, then apply anything that is in the local
directory. To learn more, go to [customizing themes](/themes/customizing/).
