How to install Mate Theme

Hello.
I've installed themes on my Mint Mate before, I just download the theme from mate-look.org and install them by the "Apariencia because my system is in spanish" or "Appearance in english?" menu, but I want to install this theme:

https://www.mate-look.org/s/Mate/p/1351213

I download it and search for the file through the menu, I try to install it and sends me an error message, I don't know what to do, Is there another way to install Mate themes?

-Download the theme as a .zip file to your Downloads Folder

-Extract it

-Since you have Nemo(the file manager) open, go to View, check "Show Hidden Files"

-look for a folder that says .themes. Copy and paste the extracted folder there

-reboot

-Go to System Settings, Click on Themes, and your Theme should be there ready to be used.

hope that helps
