Error: Unable to find theme directory about critical-data HOT 6 CLOSED

We should perhaps include this theme as a subproject in GitHub, but for now you can install the theme by navigating to the base directory for the project (i.e. ~\Documents\GitHub\critical-data\, then:

1. creating a directory called themes (e.g. mkdir themes)
2. changing into the themes directory (e.g. cd themes)
3. cloning the theme that you need (e.g. git clone [email protected]:devcows/hugo-universal-theme.git)

For more information on themes, see: https://gohugo.io/themes/installing-and-using-themes/

from critical-data.

You need to clone the repository recursively otherwise the theme, which is a submodule, isn't cloned. See the README, specifically command git clone --recurse-submodules [email protected]:MIT-LCP/critical-data.git

If you did that and it didn't work then the submodule might be configured incorrectly in which case just clone the hugo-universal-theme repo into the themes/hugo-universal-theme subfolder.

I don't think it is a submodule at the moment (or at least it isn't listed as a submodule on GitHub).

That would explain that!

I had cloned the repo recursively when getting the error.
So I created a folder for the theme where the missing directory was and copied the files from the hugo universal theme, so pretty much what you recommended, it works now!
thanks

@theonesp glad you manage to fix it! Rather than pushing changes directly to the master branch, please could you submit them via pull requests, so we can review before merging?
