That’s all you need to do to install your WordPress theme. Some themes need some shifting around of the Widgets and Page Templates.

If you are installing your theme via an FTP Client, please make sure that the path is wp-content/themes/themename/ and not wp-content/themes/themename/themename, this will affect the ajax and commenting of your theme
