Issue

How can we install the Liferay Theme Generator for creating themes in Liferay DXP 7.0?

Environment

Liferay DXP 7.0

Resolution

The Liferay Theme Generator allows developers to quickly set up, develop, and deploy themes with ease by leveraging popular libraries like Gulp and Yeoman. To get started, follow these steps:
1. Ensure that Node.js is installed on your system. The recommended version for Liferay Portal 7.0 is v10.24.1. If you don't have Node.js installed, you can download it from here.
2. Next, you'll need to install the Gulp and Yeoman libraries, which are key dependencies for the Liferay Theme Generator. For compatibility with Liferay Portal 7.0, install the following versions:
Gulp version 3.9.1
Yeoman version 3.1.1
3. Install the Liferay Theme Generator version 8.0.2 using the command:
npm install -g generator-liferay-theme@8.0.2
4. Once the dependencies are installed, navigate to the directory where you want to create your theme. Use the following command to generate the theme:
yo liferay-theme
5. After your theme is ready, you can deploy it to your configured Liferay DXP instance with a single command:
gulp deploy
