 * Unpack the theme into wp-content\themes, afterword you should have wp-content\
   themes\<theme-name>.
 * Then visit Appearance -> Themes in the WordPress Console to enable it.

 * If it’s in .zip format, you can upload it via the Themes section in the admin.
   Go to Appearance > Themes > Click “Add New”, then “Upload Theme.” You’ll get 
   a dialog that will ask if you want to activate it.

 * What everyone else has already said is correct, but here is a link to a tutorial
   with pictures. It covers both how to install a wordpress theme dirrectly using
   your site and uploading to your site after you’ve downloaded it from somewhere
   else. Hope it helps.
