How do I create a new theme and upload it?

[Butonix]

I don't want it to load through the npm. In which directory do I need to create the templates folder so that the theme is displayed in the admin panel for selection?

I also wonder which team is responsible for the real-time development mode, so that the application is not constantly rebuilt. Because it is very long to wait for compilation after each file is saved

[Butonix]

Please, help me!

Use this documentation : https://docs.nodebb.org/development/themes/

@The-Worms I saw it. There is no information on how to move the theme to a local directory

you must forke quickstart which will allow you to create your theme.

And you can install it as a plugin

[Butonix]

@The-Worms The plugin must also be installed in the npm. How do I install the plugin locally?))

[The Worms]

The local directory for all modules is NODEBB/node_modules/nodebb-theme-xxx/

@The-Worms Well thank you very much! how do I enable development mode so that when a file is changed, it is hot-loaded? now when you change the file is fully assembled and each change you need to wait for 20 seconds to see the result
