  I would like to install a theme I purchased from themeforest but do not see the install theme option, where it used to be. I have done this before and want to use the theme I selected and purchased, not the ones shown in the wordpress dashboard.

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

  You can only install external themes on a self-hosted WordPress(.org) site, but on a WordPress.COM site you can only use themes from the WordPress.com theme directory.

  More on the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org can be found here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  GREAT! Thank you, wish that would have been clear to me earlier when I was searching for this answer. Any suggestions on best way to switch to .org?
