Quick Start Guide

Flux — Theme

Welcome to FLUX Templates! This guide walks you through purchasing, accessing, and setting up your template. Whether you're grabbing a single theme or getting Lifetime Access, you'll be up and running in minutes with full GitHub access and all the tools you need to build fast, modern web applications.

1. Choose Your Theme

Browse our collection to find a theme that suits your needs. Each theme includes detailed descriptions and live demos to help you make an informed choice. You can purchase individual themes or get Lifetime Access for unlimited access to all current and future templates with full GitHub integration.

2. Access Your Purchase

After purchasing, access your templates through Polar.sh (for new purchases) or the legacy Dashboard (for previous Lemon Squeezy purchases). From your library, you can request access, download, or fork themes directly to your GitHub account.

3. Setup Requirements

Before getting started, ensure you have the necessary tools installed. You'll need Node.js version 18 or higher, a text editor (VS Code recommended with the Astro extension), and terminal access for running commands. These are the only prerequisites to start building with FLUX templates.

Terminal

4. Installation

Once you have access to your purchased theme, you can fork it to your own GitHub account or download it as a ZIP file. Forking is recommended as it allows you to receive updates easily via git pull. After downloading or forking, install dependencies and start the development server.

Terminal

Fork or Download from GitHub

Navigate to your theme's GitHub repository. You'll see a green 'Code' button at the top right. Click it to see your options: you can clone using HTTPS/SSH, open in GitHub Desktop, or download as ZIP. For best workflow, fork the repository to your account first, then clone your fork.

Terminal

Understanding the Template Structure

FLUX templates follow Astro's intuitive project structure. The src/pages/ directory contains your routes, components/ holds reusable UI pieces, and layouts/ contains page templates. Public/ stores static assets like images. Configuration files (astro.config.mjs, tailwind.config.js) control framework settings and styling.

Terminal

5. Deploy Your Site

FLUX templates are optimized for deployment on modern hosting platforms. Netlify and Vercel offer free hosting with automatic deployments from GitHub. Simply connect your repository, configure build settings, and your site will be live in minutes. Both platforms support custom domains, SSL certificates, and continuous deployment.
