Before beginning the installation and configuring of your new theme, you must first have WordPress already installed on a server. Here is a very detailed guide at Wordpress Codex that will walk you through every step.
To upload through your Dashboard, select “Appearance” and then “Themes”. Next, select the “Add New” button at the top of the page and then select the “Upload Theme” button. Choose Trueman theme "trueman.zip" file and select “Install Now”. Once the theme is fully uploaded and installed, click “Activate” to activate the WordPress theme.
When uploading your theme with the installer, please ensure you are uploading the theme .zip file, not the
entire package you downloaded. In this case, you will be uploading "trueman.zip".

To manually upload your new WordPress theme, login with your credentials to your website and locate the
wp-content folder in your WordPress install files. Upload the un-zipped
Trueman WordPress Theme folder into the: wp-content/themes folder.
Once uploaded, activate the theme by heading to the “Themes” menu in the WordPress Dashboard.
