You have (at least) two possibilities to add texturepacks:
+
Find the folder ''~/.minetest'' (so ~ is your home directory and ''.minetest'' means it is a hidden folder within your home directory - you might have to access it by pasting that path to your directory browser's adress bar) <br />
* To add it for all users, place the texture pack in ''/usr/share/minetest''; you will need root access for that.
+
Place the texture pack within the '''./textures''' folder
* It might just be enough for you to use the texture pack yourself, so put it in ''~/.minetest'' (so ~ is your home directory and ''.minetest'' means it is a hidden folder within your home directory - you might have to access it by pasting this path to your directory browser's adress bar)

The following explanations assume that you have a minetest version like the one you find on this page: http://minetest.net/download
Download the texture pack. If it is zipped (it probably is), unzip it and move the folder from within the archive to one of the following locations.

Windows 5 (XP) - 8

You will find a folder called textures in your minetest base folder. Place the texture pack there.

Linux (tested in Ubuntu, but probably is the same for most distributions)

Find the folder ~/.minetest (so ~ is your home directory and .minetest means it is a hidden folder within your home directory - you might have to access it by pasting that path to your directory browser's adress bar)
Place the texture pack within the ./textures folder
