Just installed the Gnome Tweak Tool using the Terminal, think im starting to get the hang of Linux, but very slowly. Anyway, I have downloaded a theme, 149271-kuro.tar.gz but I don't quite know how to run this file to install it...

Can anyone tell me the terminal command line I would need to type to install 149271-kuro.tar.gz so when I go in to Gnome Tweak Tool it recognises the theme?

Thanks

Reckon you'll need to untar it, so:

"cd Downloads"
"tar -zxvf 149....tar.gz"

And then try and add the theme via tweak tool
Click to expand...

Sorry for sounding stupid but when I typed cd downloads in the terminal, I get:
bash: cd: downloads: No such file or directory

I've also read that I create a new folder called .Themes in my Home folder, which i've already done
 
Right, I have done the following:


tar -zxvf 149271-kuro.tar.gz
README
kuro/gtk-2.0/gtkrc
kuro/gtk-2.0/gtkrc~
kuro/gtk-3.0/gtk.css~
kuro/gtk-3.0/gtkrc~
kuro/gtk-3.0/gtk-bars.css
kuro/gtk-3.0/gtkrc
kuro/gtk-3.0/gtk-buttons.css
kuro/gtk-3.0/gtk-frames.css
kuro/gtk-3.0/gtk-menus.css
kuro/gtk-3.0/gtk-misc.css
kuro/gtk-3.0/gtk-widgets.css
kuro/gtk-3.0/progressbar.png
kuro/gtk-3.0/settings.ini
kuro/gtk-3.0/gtk.css
kuro/metacity-1/metacity-theme-1.xml
kuro/index.theme
kuro/gtk-2.0/
kuro/gtk-3.0/
kuro/metacity-1/
kuro/

Then dragged the Kuro folder in to .Themes and it still doesnt appear for me to select the theme

Additional Edit:

I have gone in to the README file and found:

To install this theme:
After extract these file into somewhere,
put all into ~/.themes folder without README.
or
put all into /usr/share/themes folder with sudo cp or gksudo [your_file_manager] without README.



I don't know how to use the Terminal to extract from Home location to the usr/share/themes folder
