Install a theme using the command line

Ghost themes live in the /opt/bitnami/apps/ghost/htdocs/content/themes directory and are also available in Ghost Marketplace.

• Download your theme and uncompress it in this folder alongside the Casper default theme. Then, configure the permissions appropriately:

  $ sudo chown -R bitnami:daemon themes

• Restart Ghost.

  $ sudo /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh restart ghost
  

• Log in to your application, and navigate to “Settings -> General”.
