How can I run a joomla project?

Question

I get a joomla template, but I can't run it.

I copy it to htdocs folder in Apache(XAMPP) and when I want to run it, return this :

"Restricted access"

defined('_JEXEC') or die('Restricted access'); // no direct access
require_once dirname(__FILE__) . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'functions.php';

please kindly advise me,

Cheers,

Mike

Thanks for your reply ,I downloaded 5 templates, but they don't have admin page such as this "www.your-site.com/administrator/" – Freeman May 24 '10 at 13:46
Did you install Joomla itself first? – Andrew May 24 '10 at 13:57
@Mike Redford: Templates don't have admin page, it is joomla which has, from the admin, you should install those templates like told in the tutorial. – Sarfraz May 24 '10 at 14:02
