7. Click on **Download** button.

This will download a `1.0.0.zip` file. Extract it under a folder named `cms`. Inside, you’ll find another folder named `cms-<random>`. That folder contains your base theme.

### 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](../experro-cli/get-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

<Info>
  #### `.env`

  ```sh theme={null}
  CLI_TOKEN=I6InZpa2FzIiwidHlwZSI6IkZVTExfQUNDRVNTIiwidG9rZW5UeXBlIjoiQ0xJIiwiYnlUb2tlbiI6InZpa2FzIiwiYXBwSWQiOiI2NjI3N2MzMy0yODIzLTQ4YTQtYmI0Yi1mMmU0Mjc3NjBmMjMiLCJpYXQiOjE3NDc4MzE3OTN9.
  STORE_URL=rekfdwer-us-en.experro.app
  TENANT_ID=925411b2-28f3-43fsdafs-fs4dca88bc
  WORKSPACE_ID=fsdfasf222-234e-4fcc-bafc-b3ad7fc6e
  API_HOST=apis.experro.app
  CHANNEL_IDS=b2276256-35ddfd3-fd0e-8dd6-e7we242b5b99
  ```
</Info>

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.

Will need to install a node modules for the base theme to work. Run the following command in the terminal to install the dependencies.

```sh theme={null}
npm install
```

Now run command

```sh theme={null}
experro-cli server start
```

This command will run a server on :5050 port which is responsible to fetch data from experro to local machine.

Now, Open another terminal and run below command to run base-theme locally.

```sh theme={null}
npm start
```

That's all to setup a base-theme locally.
