In order to install a theme, just unzip it and go to wp-content -> themes folder and put your theme folder inside it.
After that just go to the presentation section of your wp-admin and apply the chosen theme.

Hello sevenxavier,
You need to put the theme folder in wordpress -> wp-content -> themes. After that login to your wordpress admin section and go to presentation. You will see your theme there, if rightly placed. You can just click on your new theme picture and it will be applied to your blog.

i guess my real question was to utilize the theme like the guy with the ryanlineker.org website did. ...to use it on my own website with my own hosting and domain name. is that possible? also the new version of wordpress that i downloaded what do i need it for?/ thank you.

You can't upload themes to a wordpress.com blog.
You'll need to download WordPress from http://wordpress.org, and then upload it via FTP to a blog or subdomain.

To upload any theme you will first need a domain name (GoDaddy.com) then a host (I recommend Hostgator) then you need to forward your domains DNS and install the wordpress.org software on your host (on the websites root). Once you got this you can upload any theme via FTP and change in the admin section.
If you need help let me know, I offer a blog consulting service.
