Deploying Your Theme

To deploy your theme to your app server, run the gulp deploy task. The gulp deploy task builds your theme’s files, and deploys the generated WAR file to the app server you configured when you created the theme.

Note: If you’re running the Felix Gogo shell, you can also deploy your theme using the gulp deploy:gogo command.

Note: Gulp is included as a local dependency in generated themes, so you are not required to install it. It can be accessed by running node_modules\.bin\gulp followed by the Gulp task from a generated theme’s root folder.

Follow these steps to deploy your theme:

1. Navigate to your theme’s root folder and run gulp deploy.

2. Your server’s log displays that the OSGi bundle is started.

3. You can apply your theme through the Navigation → Site Pages menu in the Control Menu. Select the Configure option for your site pages, and click the Change Current Theme button to apply your theme.
