Major error at installation

I can’t install the theme, version 8. Downloaded it today from Envato.
When uploading via WP theme uploader I get a “are you sure you want to proceed?” popup and no chance to go forward – it usually appears when the theme is broken (as in fact it appears to be)
when uploading via FTP everything goes smooth, but then in the Themes section I get an error message, saying that the theme misses the Syle sheet, and hence it is installed, but cannot be used.
What can I do?

New message:

Template is missing. Standalone themes need to have a index.php template file. Child themes need to have a Template header in the style.css stylesheet.

ps: this is the very first theme installation

Yes. You need to install just the theme folder zip, *not* the ‘all files’ zip.
