You can set the ‘default dark mode color scheme’ in `admin/site_settings/` under basic setup. That sets the colour scheme if the browser is set to dark mode.

To install the dark theme as well, just click install in `admin/customize/themes` and select dark from the list of popular ones. 👍 To make that default once installed, select it and check the box ‘Theme is enabled by default’.
