### Step 1: Download
#### Option 1: via the command line
`git clone https://github.com/jamiewilson/darkside.git ~/.nylas/packages/darkside-master`
**Note:** _Be sure to clone the repo as `darkside-master` or else images referenced in the CSS won't be found._
#### Option 2: the ZIP archive
[](https://github.com/jamiewilson/darkside/archive/master.zip)
Then, unzip `darkside-master.zip`.
### Step 2: Install
Open the Nylas N1 Preferences panel with Cmd + , or `Nylas N1 > Preferences` and choose `Install a theme…` from the `Select Theme` dropdown.

### Step 3: Activate
Select the `darkside-master` folder and press `Open`. N1 will make a copy of the theme files into your `.nylas/packages` directory, notify you that the theme has been installed, and open it a new Finder window.
If you need to get back to the package files, they're located at `/Users//.nylas/packages/darkside-master`. Either use Terminal or you can open a Finder window and press Cmd + Shift + G and paste the path in, replacing `` with your username.
### Step 3: Customize
To customize Darkside, open `darkside-master/styles/darkside.less` in a text editor.
