This tutorial shows the different ways to install the Hadron theme and guides you through the installation of the Hadron theme on an existing Grav site.
The Hadron theme can be installed in different ways. The installation via the GPM (Grav Package Manager) allows for a quick and easy installation of the theme with a simple terminal command, while the manual method allows for installation via a zip file. There is also a way to install the theme via Git or through the Admin Plugin.
The theme itself is useful, however, it may be easier to create a website with the Hadron Skeleton. The Hadron theme is included in the Hadron Skeleton, which includes a complete website. This includes: examples of content, configurations, themes, and plugins.
This method is currently not supported as the theme is not yet available in the GPM. Please use another method.
