Install and setup fail

I am sure there is an answer because I see others saying they are using this with WP 3.8.1

Running under MAMP Pro if that is important ??

First, can’t use normal install. Error says not an installable package (or to that effect)

Second, if I just unzip the package and copy it to the content>themes folder, then I see it BUT, if I activate it, can no longer get anything but the “white page” mentioned in the reviews.

Anyone have a way around this so I can give this a try?

Thanks!
