How to set new joomla template

I have created my own template for Joomla and now I want to apply it to my site. However, when I logged in to the adminstrator --> extensions --> Template Manager, my template was not there. So, I got confused. I already put all of them into an appropriate folder and try to zip them, try other couple of tutorials in the Internet. The Template Manager just does not recognize my template, no error

Are you using Joomla 1.6? If so, you may need to "discover" your new template.

This can be done by going to Extensions -> Extension Manager and clicking the Discover tab at the top. Do a refresh and check if your new template shows up. If it does, then you also have the option to install it from here and then it should show up in the template manager.

You need to have a valid templateDetails.xml for the template to show up in the template manager. You do not have to install the template through the installer, you can just upload the files.
