I have been using this solarized theme for many years now: https://github.com/sellout/emacs-color-theme-solarized. This theme used to be available in the MELPA repos, but it is no longer available there.

I always run emacs in my terminal with emacs -nw and I am currently using GNU Emacs 27.2.

My problem is that I am currently moving to a fresh linux install, and want to continue to use this theme. What is the "correct" way to install this package manually?

(Assuming you want to install the theme in ~/.emacs.d/lisp/emacs-color-theme-solarized.)

The first step would be to clone the repository:

$ cd ~/.emacs.d/lisp
$ git clone 'https://github.com/sellout/emacs-color-theme-solarized.git'

Then to add this path to custom-theme-load-path by modifying your init.el with something along the lines of:

(add-to-list 'custom-theme-load-path
             (file-name-as-directory
              (expand-file-name "~/.emacs.d/lisp/emacs-color-theme-solarized")))

And then it’s business as usual:

(load-theme 'solarized t)
