Hi, I’m developing a theme component for a project and created a GitHub repo for it, but when I try to install it (or any other remote theme/component) in my local development instance, I just get a 500 error. This is what I’m seeing in the log, but I’m not sure how to debug further?

Have you tried the Beginners’ guide to using Theme Creator and Theme CLI to start building a Discourse theme. Does it work that way?

D’oh! :man_facepalming:t5: Thanks, Jay! I already had the Theme CLI installed, I’d just forgotten about it. That works fine.

Well, then you’ve got the theme part right. Is it in a public repo? Maybe that’s the part you’ve got wrong.

Yes, it’s in a public repo, but I get the same error even when I try to install official themes and components. I’d love to figure it out though, as I’m working on two components, so plus the two needed for Discourse itself, that means I need to run a total of four terminals for each session :grimacing:

[תמונה] Genyus: I get the same error even when I try to install official themes and components Are you behind some kind of firewall or some strange network?

No, just a regular home broadband connection and wifi network, no estoric network configuration.
