1. Download this theme
2. Log into Ghost, and go to the Design settings area to upload the zip file

Styles are compiled using Gulp/PostCSS to polyfill future CSS spec. You'll need Node, Yarn and Gulp installed globally. After that, from the theme's root directory:

# Install
yarn
# Run build & watch for changes
yarn dev

Now you can edit /assets/css/ files, which will be compiled to /assets/built/ automatically.

The zip Gulp task packages the theme files into dist/dawn.zip, which you can then upload to your site.

yarn zip
