Error: There was an error cloning the git repository, access was denied or the repository could not be found
I can only upload the theme installation package locally. Does anyone know where to download the installation package?
Is the theme you are trying to install public or private?
What’s the git URL you are supplying?

So, if you press the ‘Install’ button, the message will appear? What if installed it directly from a Git repository, using this URL?
It’s strange, since I can’t repro this on Theme Creator, and it looks like it has the correct configuration stuff (about.json, public repo, etc).
If you still can’t install, could you try a hard reload of the page and try again?

Interesting. Did you reload the page?
Could it be because GitHub is sometimes difficult to access from China without VPN? I’ve seen this mentioned several times on meta.

I saw from the log that there was an error in the email configuration. I am curious if the email configuration will affect the installation of the theme?
It will not, no.

In Chinese Mainland, sometimes you can access GitHub without VPN. The opening speed is very slow, but my server is in Hong Kong, China

I initially suspect that there is a conflict with the server’s firewall, as there have been significant issues with the firewall during installation
