Once the installation is complete, a confirmation message will appear. Click on the Activate link to make Minos the active theme for your site.
Congratulations! 🎉 The Minos theme is now installed and activated on your WordPress site.
After activating Minos, a notification will appear at the top of your WordPress dashboard. It will inform you that one extension is required and that others are recommended to get the most out of the theme.

Note: If you close this notification by clicking “Dismiss this notice” you can still find the installation page via Appearance > Install Plugins. Once all extensions are installed and active, the notification and tab will automatically disappear. They will reappear if a recommended extension is disabled.
