Now, simply upload the new theme file to your /wp-content/themes/ folder. Official support for using WP themes.

Note: You can upload the .zip file of the theme in the 'wp-content/themes' directory via the File Manager and extract it online, or you can extract the file on your computer and then to upload the content in the desired folder via FTP.
