Install theme PAA files
After you export a theme as a PAA file, we can install it on a different server.
Exported theme PAA files contain only the static resources of the exported theme. Dynamic theme resources are also needed for the exported theme to work correctly when it is installed. Before we install a theme PAA file, open the PAA file. Then, open installTheme.xml in \YourThemeNamePAA.paa\YourThemeNamePAA\components\YourThemeNamePAA\content\xmlaccess\install, where YourThemeName is the name of your unique theme. Find the value of the attribute context-root and ensure that this context root is already defined on the system where we want install the theme. We can install theme PAA files using the Configuration Wizard or using the command line. To install using the Configuration Wizard, learn more about how to Add on new capability. Use the following steps to install using the command line.
The exported theme is now installed in the location that you specified.
- Change the directory to wp_profile_root/ConfigEngine.
- Run the following commands:
- Windows
ConfigEngine.bat install-paa -DPAALocation=YourPAAFileName -DWasPassword=password -DPortalAdminPwd=password ConfigEngine.bat deploy-paa -DappName=YourThemeNamePAA -DWasPassword=password -DPortalAdminPwd=password- Linux
ConfigEngine.sh install-paa -DPAALocation=YourPAAFileName -DWasPassword=password -DPortalAdminPwd=password ConfigEngine.sh deploy-paa -DappName=YourThemeNamePAA -DWasPassword=password -DPortalAdminPwd=password
