    I have installed Newscoop 4.2.3 on VPS without testing themes.
    I wanna try any theme from http://www.sourcefabric.org/en/newscoop/theme/ with testing records. How to install theme from zip-archive?

    I recommended to you re-install Newscoop again with demo publication, it is needed because demo theme is using specific article types, publication etc. Choose some of basic theme and after it.

    Than made this steps:
    1) go to back-end: Configure -> Themes
    2) button "Import theme" (this wants zip file)
    3) go to theme and Action -> Add to publication
    4) go to Content and find issues.. and set added theme
    5) restart Apache

    and it is done :-)

    If you're using Debian or Ubuntu, you can install the sample site like this: 
    sudo apt-get install newscoop-sample-data

    4) go to Content and find issues.. and set added

    Specify where it is (find issues)? To set for each issue?

    In the Content menu, your publication should be at the bottom. If you click on it, you will see the issues of that publication. Click on the Configure icon next to the current issue. There should be a list of all the themes assigned to this publication in the dropdown for Issue Theme. Click on one of those and click Save.
