I would like to install buddypress onto my existing wordpress install (regular wordpress not wordpress mu). How would I upgrade this to a wordpress mu/buddypress install?

Also will this integrate with my current wordpress theme?

Thanks!

WordPress (regular) and BuddyPress don’t work together (yet). You need to install MU first and then BP.

At this time, BuddyPress only works with WPMU 2.7.1. You cannot use it with single-version WordPress.

No. You will either need to use the standard BuddyPress themes that come with the package, or update your custom themes as detailed here: https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-buddypress/upgrading-from-rc-1/
