nikola theme command failure #142

Closed githubgnulinux closed 6 years ago

What to check in the system for this command terminal output?

nikola theme -i base-jinja

ERROR: Nikola: Unknown command theme

You’re using an outdated version of Nikola. Based on your previous posts, you are most likely using Nikola v7.6.4 as installed from Debian repositories (apt-get install nikola). The version is pretty ancient (Debian’s fault), and thus not supported.

Instead, we recommend using Python 3, virtualenv and installing with pip inside a virtualenv — that should get you Nikola v7.8.11, which is the latest version. A lot of things were fixed since August 2015 (which is when v7.6.4 was released).

PS. (1) you can’t install base-jinja which is built-in, (2) this sends a request to themes.getnikola.com, which is behind CloudFlare, and you know the rest of the story.
