You can reference magento2 docs file from here, you have to go step by step using this docs, http://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.0/frontend-dev-guide/themes/theme-create.html

in your theme.xml file,

parent tag must be <parent>Magento/blank</parent> or <parent>Magento/luma</parent>

Because already two themes are installed in magento 2. so you can extends one of those theme.

Another step is: Go to magento2/dev/tools/grunt/configs/theme.js

add below code after

luma: {
        area: 'frontend',
        name: 'Magento/luma',
        locale: 'en_US',
        files: [
            'css/styles-m',
            'css/styles-l'
        ],
        dsl: 'less'
    },

setup your custom theme code declaration,

ultimo: {
    area: 'frontend',
    name: 'Magento/ultimo',
    locale: 'en_US',
    files: [
        'css/styles-m',
        'css/styles-l'
    ],
    dsl: 'less'
},

Now remove var folder from root , refresh cache and apply command in cli from root,

php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy

set developer mode using cli,

php bin/magento deploy:mode:set developer

Now your theme are display inside admin. Thanks.

Please place your theme directory under app/design/

Please remove var directory and pub/static/frontend/content from magento folder then use this commands in cmd. php bin/magento setup:cache:clean php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy
