Configure Base Theme

As you have now downloaded the base-theme, let us configure it to work with your local environment. To run base-theme in your local machine, you need to set-up a .env file with required information. You can generate the CLI Token file and get all the required information from it, where channel id will not be there but you can copy a channel id from Step 6 environment wise above. After setting up the .env file it looks like this

​
.env

CLI_TOKEN=I6InZpa2FzIiwidHlwZSI6IkZVTExfQUNDRVNTIiwidG9rZW5UeXBlIjoiQ0xJIiwiYnlUb2tlbiI6InZpa2FzIiwiYXBwSWQiOiI2NjI3N2MzMy0yODIzLTQ4YTQtYmI0Yi1mMmU0Mjc3NjBmMjMiLCJpYXQiOjE3NDc4MzE3OTN9.

API_HOST=apis.experro.app
CHANNEL_IDS=b2276256-35ddfd3-fd0e-8dd6-e7we242b5b99
Where API_HOST key value you need to keep it as it is apis.experro.app. Now .env is set for as per your requirement. You can proceed to the next step to run the base theme locally.
