Requirements

Make sure all dependencies have been installed before moving on:

Theme installation

Install Sage using Composer from your WordPress themes directory (replace your-theme-name below with the name of your theme):

# @ app/themes/ or wp-content/themes/
$ composer create-project roots/sage your-theme-name

To install the latest development version of Sage, add dev-master to the end of the command:

$ composer create-project roots/sage your-theme-name dev-master

During theme installation you will have options to update style.css theme headers, select a CSS framework, and configure Browsersync.
