  You can’t unless you upgrade to the Business Plan, that’s how wordpress.com works due to security reasons.

  Hi,

  As @staartmees mentioned, you would need to upgrade to Business.
  WordPress.com is a shared environment and we do not allow installing third-party themes or plugins for security reasons. Business sites undergo a series of structural changes to allow that and that is why you’d need Business plan to install any plugin.
