How to install a new Pelican theme
##############
These instructions assume you have already completed the Pelican Quick Start
guide at http://docs.getpelican.com/en/3.1.1/getting_started.html, have a
working blog, and would now like to apply a non-default theme.
First, choose a directory to hold your themes. For this example, I'll use the
directory :code:`path_to_themes`, but yours could be different. Then clone
the :code:`pelican-themes` repository to your local machine.
.. code-block:: none
$ mkdir ~/path_to_themes # or whatever
$ cd ~/path_to_themes
$ git clone git://github.com/getpelican/pelican-themes.git
Now you should have your :code:`pelican-themes` repository stored at
:code:`~/path_to_themes/pelican-themes/`.
Next use :code:`cd` to move to the directory where you are storing your Pelican
site. To use one of the themes, you simply have to edit your
:code:`pelicanconf.py` file to include this line:
.. code-block:: python
# Add this to pelicanconf.py
THEME = '~/path_to_themes/pelican-themes/theme_folder'
So, for instance, to use the :code:`mnmlst` theme, you would edit your config
file to include
.. code-block:: python
THEME = '~/path_to_themes/pelican-themes/mnmlst'
Save :code:`pelicanconf.py`. To see the changes, regenerate your site by using
the Makefile you should already have set up using :code:`pelican-quickstart`:
.. code-block:: none
$ make html
Themes can also be specified directly using the
:code:`pelican -t ~/path_to_themes/pelican-themes/theme_folder` option. If you
want to edit your theme, make sure that any edits you make are made to the copy
stored in :code:`~/path_to_themes/pelican-themes/theme_folder`. Any changes
made to files stored in your site's :code:`output` directory will be deleted
the next time you generate your site.
