You didn't catch my question,
I know how to install Nemo via terminal.
Actually, I have it on my system right now, but it's version 4.4.2, The latest version is 5, How can I install version 5 or 4.4.8

4.4.2 is the latest version available in the Ubuntu repository. I ran a Google search to find out if I could find a later version, like version 5, I did, but for other distros.

Ubuntu repo's are known to be quite slow at updating their software repo's. But I can't recommend installing software for other distro's, because it could break your system.

Thank you,
The 4.4.2 version is fine by me, but I guess it has a bug, I reviewed somewhere on GitHub, I can't change the icon view size all in batch, I have to change them level by level and this is so annoying.
Do you have any idea?

Is it fully compatible with Zorin OS??

Yes, I have been using it since Zorin OS 16 Alpha.

Let's try from Repository:

sudo -i

nautilus

Navigate to /etc/apt/sources.list

Paste this line at the bottom and save the file but do not close it:
deb http://packages.linuxmint.com uma main upstream import backport

Open terminal and run

sudo apt install -y nemo

Once installed, in the sources.list file that is still open; remove the repository you just added (This is important. Further updates from the testing repo may cause breakage).

Yes, you can install most file managers without any problem. But QT based FM's, like Dolphin, won't look right on Zorin OS.

I don't like the dolphin....like this one from zorin and ubuntu (nemo).

Well I'm using Dolphin with the konsole (because of the command line) installed since zorin15.3 because I like working with split screens. The one thing that bothers me about Nemo is the notification when I'm transfering files. Now with Zorin16 this problem is solved in Dolphin.

Can you please try:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:linuxmint-daily-build-team/daily-builds

And remove the deb http://packages.linuxmint.com uma main upstream import backport from the sources.list

Once done, then

sudo apt install -y nemo
