  How do I install my own purchased theme externally?

  You can’t.

  Should I be able to use that?

  No.

  Or do I need to upgrade my package?

  No.

  Uploading Custom Themes

  Uploading a third-party or custom theme is possible only on self-hosted sites using the WordPress.org software. This means that you cannot upload any themes to your WordPress.com site. Learn more.

  Instead of uploading a theme, try checking out the current theme collection to see if there’s an option there that will work well for you.

  I’d be glad to try to help you choose a theme here on WordPress.com. Can you show me the theme you wanted to use? I’ll be happy to take a look and see if we have something similar available.
