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](https://meta.discourse.org/t/beginners-guide-to-using-theme-creator-and-theme-cli-to-start-building-a-discourse-theme/108444). Does it work that way?

D’oh! 🤦🏾♂️ 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 😬

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.
