How to install theme component with app.yaml or from local device?

[Yaoqi_Yan]

My discourse server is in K8s.
Can I install theme component(for example discoTOC) with bellow app.yaml config? If not, how to install from my local device?(the k8s is not allowed to access github).

hooks:
  after_code:
    - exec:
        cd: $home/plugins
        cmd:
          - git clone https://github.com/discourse/xxx.git

I tried to install discoTOC(download from github) from local device but report bellow error

Import Error: about.json does not exist, or is invalid. Are you sure this is a Discourse Theme?

I have just tried the same thing on my test site and it worked for me? Have you grabbed the right file?

Thanks for your reply. It works.
The point is using zip file downloaded from GitHub.
unzip and re-zip file doesn’t work on MAC

We have a guide on this, see:

Install a Theme programatically

If you want to install themes via your app.yml, use the following format: run: - exec: echo "Beginning of custom commands" - file: path: /tmp/mythemes.yml contents: | discourse-gifs: url: https://github.com/discourse/discourse-gifs.git add_to_all_themes: true - exec: cd: $home cmd: su discourse -c 'bundle exec rake themes:install < /tmp/mythemes.yml' - exec: echo "End of custom commands"

Would that work if you can’t access GitHub?

yes. Local device installation works .
