Downloaded theme but cant see it in magento to activate it

[mark_huyton]

I am using a localhost wamp server and have downloaded a theme, I have copied the zip file to my root folder and extracted as per the guide.

Bit unsure how to run commands using a wamp server

I need to do the following

bin/magento setup:upgrade

bin/magento index:reindex

bin/magento cache:clean

Bit of a novice sure not sure what to do, am i correct in thinking the path would be.

c:\wamp64\www\Magento\bin/magento setup:upgrade
or
C:\Users\mark>wamp64\www\Magento\bin/magento setup:upgrade

Any help would be appreciated

Hi @mark_huyton,

You shuld run the magento commands from the magento root folder. 

php bin/magento setup:upgarde

Thanks Vimal

C:\Users\mark>php bin/magento setup:upgrade
Could not open input file: bin/magento

the files seem to have full permissions, is this something i should do from the wamp control panel

Make sure that you magento is installed in this directory.

"C:\Users\mark", then check if there are bin folder.  Otherwise check you magento root folder path once. 

bin/magento should have writeable perission.

It looks like your php version is not compatible with Magento.

You should use php 7.2 for latest Magento 2.3.3 version.

Thanks, i am using 7.2.18, i have been advised Magento is not supported by windows, do you think this could be causing me difficulties
