Sage is an open source project and completely free to use.
However, the amount of effort needed to maintain and develop new features and products within the Roots ecosystem is not sustainable without proper financial backing. If you have the capability, please consider sponsoring Roots.
- Harness the power of Laravel and its available packages thanks to Acorn.
- Clean, efficient theme templating utilizing Laravel Blade.
- Lightning fast frontend development workflow powered by Bud.
- Out of the box support for Tailwind CSS.
Make sure all dependencies have been installed before moving on:
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-main
to the end of the command:
$ composer create-project roots/sage your-theme-name dev-main
Make sure that you have Acorn installed.
