    This is what I have done so far

    cd /nodebb/node_modules
    mkdir nodebb-theme-nameoftheme
    git clone https://github.com/NodeBB/nodebb-theme-quickstart.git nodebb-theme-nameoftheme
    Edit package.json, plugin.json and theme.json.
    In each file replace nodebb-theme-quickstart with nodebb-theme-nameoftheme
    In theme.json change the name and description

    Activate the theme
    Rebuild and Restart

    Edit header.tpl to add some text

    <title>{browserTitle}TEST123</title>

    Save and refresh the page. No change. I am sure I missed some steps. I am documenting how I do this so I can share with the group

    Found my own answer.

    I had to run ./nodebb build tpl && ./nodebb dev

    Then the changes showed up

    I executed your steps and did not report any errors after restarting, but I did not find any changes. I would like to ask, if the above operation is successful, what changes should I see?🙄
