Installing Nexus Theme

Get started with Nexus theme in minutes.

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18+ installed
• A Finqu merchant account
• Finqu CLI installed (npm install -g @finqu/cli)

Installation

Create a new Nexus theme storefront using the Finqu CLI:

finqu storefront create <name>

This command clones the Nexus theme repository and sets up a new storefront project. Replace <name> with your desired project name.

After the project is created:

1. Navigate to the project directory:

cd <name>

2. Install dependencies:

pnpm install

3. Start the development server:

pnpm dev

Your Nexus storefront will be available at http://localhost:3000.

Configuration

After installation, configure your storefront by setting up environment variables (see Environment Variables).
