Same type of error, I’m not getting an email to clarify the error so I’m waiting for the admin. 5 days and counting
You should try to install plugins and themes that have a big number of files or don’t install by using the WordPress dashboard via FTP. Here are the instructions for installing a plugin via FTP and installing a theme via FTP.

Installing larger plugins and themes can easily fail, because of file size limits and script execution time limits. It’s a known and fairly common issue and not really the desired experience for anyone. But the only “fix” I can think of is to increase the limits for free hosting, which is not something we can do just like that.
Fortunately, there is a good workaround. LIke @Ergastolator1 said, you can circumvent these issues by installing the theme manually through FTP.

Thanks Ergastolator1, installing it via FTP does work. It’s a bit unfortunate that there’s no other way, but it’s better than nothing
