There are two ways to install WordPress themes / child themes: via the WordPress Dashboard (recommended) and via FTP.

eightbit-standard-child-theme-kit
directory to the/wp-content/themes/

Usage
Find the style.css
file for the Standard Child Theme Kit and locate the "Customizations" section. You can add your own styles under this section to override the styles that come with Standard.
If you happened to name Standard 3 theme directory anything else besides "standard" when you installed the theme, you will need to update the "Template" name and the @import
path in the Standard Child Theme Kit's style.css
in order for it to work correctly.
