I am creating a site from scratch with Joomla 4 - I am trying to install your S5 Forte for Joomla 4 template. As you know J4 very different and doesn't have the usual Extension/Install/ path. Every source I consult says I have to back up a Joomla 3 site to do this; well that doesn't work if you are created from scratch. Do you have any advise, instructions, or a detailed article explaining the process for install your creations?
Trying to install template on a NEW J4 site, not migrating from J3

DorothyDavis Hello,
Please make sure that you download the latest version of S5 Forte that has support for Joomla 4 at https://www.joomlart.com/member/downloads/shape5/joomla-templates/s5-forte . Then you can process to install the template normally.
As stated above, I downloaded your "S5 Forte for Joomla 4" template. THe normal way was always to go to Extensions>Install then drag & drop or click the blue button to browse for it and install. However, Joomla 4.0 does not have the path (Extensions>Install). When I go to Systems>Extensions where you install and attempt to install the template, it gives the error message, "JInstaller: :Install: Can't find Joomla XML setup file. The Joomla package cannot be installed through the Extension Manager. Please use the Joomla! Update component to update Joomla." I look for updates and Joomla 4 says that all extensions are up-to-date. I find no instructions on the new install method for Joomla templates, admin nor site.
DorothyDavis Hello,
You probably tried to install the quickstart package instead of the template package via back-end admin, that's why there was an error.
Please check again and download the correct template file package available at https://www.joomlart.com/member/downloads/shape5/joomla-templates/s5-forte .
Kindly see in my screenshot below to know the exact file that you should download and install:
