-

$ curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup | sudo bash -
$ apt install nodejs
$ apt install build-essential
$ curl -L https://npmjs.com/install.sh | sh
$ apt install npm-
- Gulp : Helps compiling SASS to CSS
npm install gulp-cli -g
npm install gulp -DAfter we make sure that we do have all the tools we could change directory in the terminal to:
$ cd PROJECT_DIR_NAME/docroot/profiles/varbase/scripts
$ bash ./create-new-vartheme-bs4.sh "THEME_NAME"- Activate your new sub theme by going to Appearance in our Varbase site.
- Search for THEME_NAME of the generated new sub theme and click on Install and set as default.
- Go to the home page to check if the theme is showing up.
- then we can change directory to our sub theme in the terminal to test compile our SASS files to CSS
