: You probably installed from git, or directly from the source code using some other method. This is expected. MediaWiki 1.24 and newer doesn't include any skins in the main repository. Try installing some skins from [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Category:All_skins mediawiki.org's skin directory], by:
:* Downloading the [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Download tarball installer], which comes with several skins and extensions. You can copy and paste the <code>skins/</code> directory from it.
:* Downloading individual skin tarballs from [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:SkinDistributor mediawiki.org].
:* [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Download_from_Git#Using_Git_to_download_MediaWiki_skins Using Git to download skins].
: Doing this should not interfere with your git repository if you're a MediaWiki developer. See [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Skin_configuration Manual: Skin configuration] for information how to enable skins and choose the default.
