  Instructions – easiest way to install the theme, is by accessing your WordPress admin panel, then go to Appearance > Themes. Select the Install Themes tab and click the Upload link located just below the tab’s name. Click on Browse… and select the WordPress theme zip file you just downloaded.

  Hi @kingsparkhpc,
  I am sorry but you cannot upload/install themes downloaded from external sources a wordpress.com site.

  Read more about it here:
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/adding-new-themes/

  If you want to use that theme, you might wanna consider using WordPress.ORG – a self-hosted platform for creating websites,blogs, etc. which also has the ability to upload custom themes.

  You can find out the differences between WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  If you want to move your blog contents from .COM to .ORG then follow the instructions given here: https://move.wordpress.com/

  If you need help with building your site on WordPress.ORG then you can go to the WordPress.ORG support forum.

  Hope this helps :)
