Hi, I'm new to Drupal and need assistance with installing a new theme.

I've downloaded a theme (blossom) from Drupal and I've moved the entire directory under "themes" directory. What else do I need to do to see it show up in the list of themes under
Administer>Site building>themes ?

Thanks

Move the extracted directory to /sites/all/themes/.

See Handbook

Thanks for the quick response.

I had initially placed the extracted directory in www/themes/ , where the default themes are, but now I've moved it from there to www/sites/all/themes/ (I had to add themes directory since it wasn't there) but I'm still not seeing it as one of the selections in Administer>Site Building>Themes list. I don't need any other changes? Do I need to update any php code to list out this theme?

Thanks.

Have you read the Handbook?

Have you checked your themes are the same version as your Drupal installation?

You did everything right.
I guess you are doing this under Linux. Could it be that you're having trouble with permissions of theme files? Check if apache can read those.
