1. Preparation for the theming training¶

We will use the following tools during the training.

1.1. npm / NodeJS¶

Make sure you have a recent LTS-version of NodeJS >= v12.22.x or v14.x.x

You could also use NVM to manage different versions of NodeJS.

Install plonecli with Python3, on most Linux systems this can be done by:

$ pip3 install plonecli --user

This will also install bobtemplates.plone, but we will need the current beta version.

So let's update bobtemplates.plone:

$ pip3 install bobtemplates.plone==6.0b8 --user

To test the setup, use plonecli to create an addon:

plonecli create addon plonetheme.tester

$ cd plonetheme.tester
$ plonecli add theme_barceloneta
$ plonecli build serve

After that we have a working buildout and Plone is starting.

Now let's verify that npm/NodeJS is working fine.

$ cd src/plonetheme/tester/theme
$ npm install
$ npm run build
