## Theme installation

**The `main` branch currently tracks Sage 10 which is in active development. Looking for Sage 9 or the latest Sage 10 beta release? [See releases](https://github.com/roots/sage/releases).**

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

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

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

```sh
$ composer create-project roots/sage your-theme-name dev-main
```

Make sure that you have [Acorn installed](https://docs.roots.io/acorn/2.x/installation/).
