Select the directory where you want to upload Joomla engine and click Upload button from the top menu

Browse for the downloaded Joomla engine package and click Upload.

When the upload is complete you need to extract files from the Joomla engine package. Select the package and click Unarchive button from the top menu.

In the appeared block browse or type the directory where you want to extract files.
