Create your copy of Underskeleton and name it to your taste at getunderskeleton.com/download, copy from latest release. Then:

• Login to your WordPress backend
• Go to Appearance → Themes → Add New → Upload Theme
• Select your theme file → Install Now
• Activate the theme

• Download Underskeleton zip file from GitHub
• Extract files and change the folder name from underskeleton-master to underskeleton (or one of your choice)
• Upload it into your WordPress themes subfolder: /wp-content/themes/
• Login to your WordPress backend
• Go to Appearance → Themes
• Activate the Underskeleton theme

To change Underskeleton theme identification to your own you need to replace any 'underskeleton' text with your theme id and, optionally, replace the theme name as well.

• Open the project in the editor of your choice (i.e Sublime Text)
• Replace all 'underskeleton' matches with 'your_theme_id' (case sensitive) (screenshot)
• Optionally, replace all 'Underskeleton' matches with 'Your Theme Name' (case sensitive) (screenshot)
• That is it.

Most of the folder structure is inherited from _s. Its files are well documented, have a look ;)

Bellow are just Underskeleton's file structure

underskeleton/
  └── css                            
    └── theme.css         // Theme styles, Skeleton and Underskeleton stuff, include your styles 
    └── theme.min.css     // Minified version of theme styles, this is the file served to the browser. 
  └── js
    └── assets            // Folder for assets from other projects, ie _s.
    └── *.js              // Uncompiled underskeleton scripts
  └── sass
    └── theme             // Uncompiled Sass files for your theme
    └── theme.scss        // Uncompiled theme scss files that basically @imports all other scss files
  └── style.css           // WordPress theme identification file
  ...

Underskeleton is developed with NPM, Bower, Gulp, SASS, Browser Sync and Css Autoprefixer. You can develop without these tools, but its just a lot faster with them ;)

• Make sure you have installed Node.js, Bower, and Browser-Sync on your computer globally. To install Bower and Browser-Sync, run*:

# May require root/administrator permissions

$ npm install -g bower
$ npm install -g browser-sync

• Open your terminal and browse to the location of your Underskeleton copy
• Run these comands:

# install node.js packages, install bower dependencies, copy assets to source folder

$ npm install
$ bower install

To work and compile your SASS and JS files on the fly, run:

$ gulp watch

Or, to run with Browser-Sync:

• First change the browser-sync options to reflect your environment in /gulpfile.js file in the beginning of the file:

var browserSyncOptions = {
    proxy: "localhost/underskeleton/", // <----- CHANGE HERE
    notify: false
};

• then run: $ gulp watch-bs

If you just want to build once:

$ gulp build-css or $ gulp build-scripts

Underskeleton is in it's early stages and a lot has to be done yet.
