Install a new theme
-
I have purchased a wordpress theme from http://www.solopine.com however, there are no options to install my downloaded theme in the appearance tab. How do I install this theme?

WordPress.com and WordPress.org are separate and different. You are confusing wordpress.com hosted blogs and wordpress.org installs on paid hosting.
The only themes we can use here at wordpress.COM on wordpress.COM hosted blogs are found at https://wordpress.com/themes/
You cannot install any custom theme or any third party theme into any wordpress.COM hosted blog and there is no upgrade that changes that. There is no FTP access and no blogger installed plugin capability on any free hosted WordPress.COM blogs and there is no upgrade you can purchase here that changes that reality.

See: http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/adding-new-themes/WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
If you want to set up your own WordPress.ORG install and move your content and domain this guide will explain how to move your WordPress.com site to another hosting platform: Moving to a Self-Hosted WordPress Site https://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-to-a-self-hosted-wordpress-site/
If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG account, then click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right-hand corner of the page that opens, https://wordpress.org/support/register.php so you can post to the support forums there.
