Semi-manual install

Permalink
I have a server that will not allow automatic installation of themes. The server owner won't allow the ini.php to be modified with the extension=php_zip.dll.

I have a complicated theme with parts and pieces all over the place. Can I unzip the package -- the first step after downloading it , put it someplace in the concrete5 path and then run the install from there? If so, how?

I tried unzipping it in \files\tmp and running controller.php but I think there is a step or setting I'm missing, most namely the 
defined('C5_EXECUTE') or die(_("Access Denied."));

in controller.php.

Thanks,
Chris

That was simple. Simply unzip the package into the "\packages" directory, go to Dashboard->Install and install the package.

I thought it was much more difficult than that.
