    hello,
    i have a theme that i need to install but it isn’t like the normal themes i’ve seen by far.

    if someone could guide me on step 2 (down below) I’d be very grateful.
    there are 4 things in the theme folder
    1- a folder with contents (pictures alot of them)
    2- .DS_Store file
    3- aiesec_db_20150204.sql file
    4- aiesec_install.sh file
    5- aiesec_migrate.php file
    and a help file which says:
    1- Copy the contents of this folder to the location you want to install the site (server).
    2- Open up the terminal and locate this folder with it (Connect to the server with SSH).
    3- Enter the following command and click enter: bash aiesec_install.sh
    4- Follow the onscreen prompts and the whole site installation should be done within minutes

    finally for people who might say that this is not a wordpress site… it is a wordpress site i’ve confirmed it with some people. Unfortunately those people don’t know how to install it either

    Hello bhabrooo,

    WordPress.com’s goal is to keep things simple. We take care of the technical details, so you can focus on creating content. As such, we are not able to support uploading of custom WordPress themes on our service.

    https://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/adding-new-themes/

    I recommend that you ask your question in the appropriate WordPress.org forum, as this forum is for WordPress.com users.

    Good luck!

    Sounds like you’ve gotten your hands on some self-hosted WordPress files – and much more than just a theme, you have a MySQL database, among other things. Themes also don’t usually require an SSH connection, even on self-hosted installs.

    Hopefully you’ll get some help over at the WordPress.org forums, as daschultemn suggested. (These forums are for folks hosted here at WordPress.com. You won’t be able to install any of those types of files here.)

    You’ll need a free WordPress.org account to post – if you don’t already have one, you can register here:
