The Theme Developer Tools allow you to develop and customize themes for your SuiteCommerce implementation effectively. This article outlines the steps to download and set up these tools in your local environment.

How to Download and Extract Theme Developer Tools

Follow these steps to access and install the Theme Developer Tools:

  1. Log in to your NetSuite account.

  2. Navigate to Documents > Files > File Cabinet.

  3. Go to SuiteBundles/Bundle 521562/.

  4. Download the appropriate .zip file:

    • The file you need is named ThemeDevelopmentTools-24.1.x.zip, where x corresponds to the latest minor release of the tools.
    • For implementations based on either the Aconcagua or SuiteCommerce Advanced 2018.2 release, download ThemeDevelopmentTools-18.2.1.zip, as these are the only compatible tools for those versions.

  5. Extract the .zip file to a designated folder on your local machine. This folder will act as the root development directory for your custom themes. The extracted folder will retain the original name, but you can rename it according to your preference.

    Important: Do not alter or delete any files or folders within the top-level development directory to ensure proper functionality.

  6. Open a command line or terminal window.

  7. Access your root development directory that you created earlier.

  8. Install required Node.js packages by entering the following command in your terminal:

    bash
    npm install

    This command installs the necessary dependencies for managing your custom themes. The installation process may take a few minutes.

    Note: If you intend to use a sandbox account, it is advisable to create two separate development directories—one for production and another for sandbox. This ensures a seamless fetch and deploy process across different environments throughout the development cycle.

By following these steps, you will be equipped with the Theme Developer Tools needed to enhance and customize your SuiteCommerce themes effectively.
