Installation

The following is a step-by-step guide for installing and setting up the Virtuoso theme.

Install programs

You'll need a few tools installed on your computer before getting started. More than likely, you already have one or more of these as a theme developer.

• Git for version control.
• Composer for managing PHP dependencies.
• NPM for managing JS dependencies.
• Genesis Framework since Virtuoso is a child theme

Installing the theme

Open the command line utility on your computer.

Themes belong in your wp-content/themes folder. You can directly download and install the theme if you wish. Or, you can use the command line to do so.

First, you must switch to the proper folder:

cd path/to/wp-content/themes/virtuoso

Installing Node dependencies

Virtuoso has many Node dependencies that it uses for the build process. To install them, you can either use NPM or Yarn.

npm install

After this process has run, you'll want to install your Composer dependencies files.

composer install

Install Plugins

Virtuoso has a few plugins it relies on

Advanced Custom Fields

This project relies on Advanced Custom Fields Pro please install this plugin after you have installed the Virtuoso theme

Virtuoso Grandchild plugin

If you'd like to make modifications to your website without modifying the theme then please use the virtuoso grandchild theme modification plugin

Wrapping up

This is how the wp-content folder structure should look when everything has been installed

        /plugins
          /advanced-custom-fields
