How do you install icon themes and use them? (Ubuntu 20.04 LTS)

Question

I am a newbie to Ubuntu and I installed Ubuntu 20.04 LTS on my HP Stream 14 Laptop yesterday and I am trying to get the hang of it.

The certain theme I am trying to install is McMuse icon theme (https://www.gnome-look.org/p/1348081/)

Once you downloaded the above Icon theme you mentioned.

Extract it, Copy the two folders and place them in $HOME/.icons directory. Create the directory if it does not exist.

Install gnome-tweaks with below command

sudo apt update && sudo apt install gnome-tweaks

and select the icon theme you wish.
