You need an XML for that and without getting elements and attributes in theat template one cant create XML file for u.

Explaination

• <install version="1.5" type="template">. The contents of the XML document are instructions for the backend installer. The option type="template" tells the installer that we are installing a template and that it is for Joomla 1.5.
• <name>TemplateTutorial15</name>. Defines the name of your template. The name you enter here will also be used to create the directory within the templates directory. Therefore it should not contain any characters that the file system cannot handle, for example spaces. If installing manually, you need to create a directory that is identical to the template name.
• <creationDate>August 2007</creationDate>. The date the template was created. It is a free form field and can be anything such as May 2005, 08-June-1978, 01/01/2004, and so on.
• <author>Barrie North</author>. The name of the author of this template[md]most likely your name.
• <copyright>GPL</copyright>. Any copyright information goes into this element. A Licensing Primer for Developers and Designers can be found on the Joomla forums.
• <authorEmail> \n This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it </authorEmail>. Email address where the author of this template can be reached.
• <authorUrl>www.compassdesigns.net</authorUrl>. The URL of the author's website.
• <version>1.0</version>. The version of this template.
• <files></files>. Various files used in the template.
• The files used in the template are laid out with <filename> tags:

<files>
<filename>index.php</filename>
<filename>templateDetails.xml</filename>
<filename>js/somejsfile.js</filename>
<filename>images/threecol-l.gif</filename>
<filename>images/threecol-r.gif</filename>
<filename>css/customize.css</filename>
<filename>css/layout.css</filename>
<filename>css/template_css.css</filename>
</files>

• The "files" sections contain all generic files like the PHP source for the template or the thumbnail image for the template preview. Each file listed in this section is enclosed by <filename> </filename>. Also included would be any additional files; here the example of a JavaScript file that is required by the template is used.
• All image files that the template uses are also listed in the <files> section. Again, each file listed is enclosed by <filename> </filename>. Path information for the files is relative to the root of the template. For example, if the template is in the directory called 'YourTemplate', and all images are in a directory 'images' that is inside 'YourTemplate', the correct path is: <filename>images/my_image.jpg</filename>
• Lastly, any stylesheets are listed in the files section. Again, the filename is enclosed by <filename> </filename>, and it's path is relative to the template root.
• <positions></positions>.The module positions available in the template.
• <params></params>. These describe parameters that can be passed to allow advanced template functions such as changing the color of the template.
