To get up and running, you need to:
- Get a copy of the code.
- Install the dependencies if you don't already have them.
- Modify the theme to your liking.
- Deploy theme to a server running WordPress.
Clone the repository into your local WordPress theme directory. (i.e. wordpress/wp-content/themes/anthony-jones)
Bring up a terminal and type node --version
.
Node should respond with a version at or above 0.10.x.
If you require Node, go to nodejs.org and click on the big green Install button.
Bring up a terminal and type gulp --version
.
If Gulp is installed it should return a version number at or above 3.8.x.
If you need to install/upgrade Gulp, open up a terminal and type in the following:
$ npm install --global gulp
This will install Gulp globally. Depending on your user account, you may need to configure your system to install packages globally without administrative privileges.
Next, install the local dependencies:
$ npm install
That's it! You should now have everything needed to develop the theme further.
You may also want to get used to some of the commands available.
