System-wide fonts are located at /usr/share/fonts. However, I prefer to keep things to myself, so I will install it in my home directory.
Create a .fonts directory in your home if it doesn't exist already.
mkdir ~/.fonts
Extract your font to the .fonts directory. You only need to extract one of the font versions. For example, if the zip file contains both myfont.ttf and myfont.otf, you only need to pick one of them, like myfont.ttf.
Refresh the font cache.
sudo fc-cache -f -v
If you had an application open, now would be a great time to restart it. You should now see the new font.
