When I try to install a theme from a github repo, I am getting a 500 error on both. Here are the logs from installing a theme from a repo:

```plaintext
Job exception: Failed to backfill 'First Flag' badge: {revoked_callback: #<Proc:0x0000000124c9ea08 /Users/jrb/Discourse/discourse-itd/app/jobs/regular/backfill_badge.rb:20 (lambda)>, granted_callback:
7:38 am
Failed to process hijacked response correctly : Errno::ENOENT : No such file or directory - timeout

```

Trying to get off the ground here but, run into errors every time I try to do something. I’ve looked through the forum but, not finding anything to help solve the issue. Thanks in advance!
