Quick install (recommended):
- Open http://www.openandromaps.org/en/legend/elevate-mountain-hike-theme in a browser on your android device
- Press on "OruxMaps" in the column "Install in Android" below "Downloads" in the "Elevate 4" table

Choose map style (essential):
- Make sure in OruxMaps settings that "User interface", "Miscellaneous UI", "No Navigation Drawer" is not checked
- Open navigation drawer by swiping from the left border, tap on "Mapsforge theme", tap on the the theme you like to use (Elevate or Elements)
- Use the cog wheel next to "Mapsforge theme" in the navigation drawer to choose the map style (hiking, cycling, city, mountainbike) and (de-)select overlays
- There are other ways like the old style action bar or on screen buttons, use the OruxMaps manual on how to use this

Manual install (advanced):
- Please make sure you downloaded "Elevate.zip"
- If it's an update of existing Elevate map themes: remove all old files and folders
- Unzip Elevate.zip with an Android file explorer to "../oruxmaps/mapstyles/" on your SD-Card or internal memory (depending on your device)
- You can choose your own path for theme files in OruxMaps via "...", "Global settings", "Maps", "Mapsforge settings" and "Mapsforge themes"
