Getting started (6.x)

1. Download Zen from http://drupal.org/project/zen
2. Unpack the downloaded file, take the entire zen folder (which includes the README.txt file, a zen_classic folder, etc.) and place it in your Drupal installation under one of the following locations:
   • sites/all/themes (making it available to all Drupal sites in a mult-site configuration)
   • sites/default/themes (making it available to only the default Drupal site)
   • sites/example.com/themes (making it available to only the example.com site if there is a sites/example.com/settings.php configuration file)
3. Log in as an administrator on your Drupal site and go to Administer > Site building > Themes (admin/build/themes) and make Zen or one of its sub-themes the default theme.

   Currently available Zen themes:

   • Zen — the base theme
   • Zen Classic — the html and css for Zen 0.7
   • STARTERKIT — the placeholder to create sub-theme’s of Zen

Note:

There seems to be a conflict between some host installations of SiteBuilder and the Zen directory name. If you experience this problem, change the name of the theme directory from "zen" to "Zen", edit all the theme's php files and change every occurrence of "zen" with "Zen", and you should be back in business.
