  There is no “install theme” tab under appearance>theme. What do I do?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  That’s because on wordpress.COM you are not allowed to install any new themes, you can only select a theme that is available in appearance>theme. If you really want to use that theme since you paid for it (though you should be able to get a refund) you should consider self-hosting a wordpress.ORG blog.
