Go to your WordPress dashboard and select Appearance. 3. Activate the Genesis Sample theme. 4. Inside your WordPress dashboard, go to Genesis > Theme Settings and configure them to your liking. ## For Developers The version of [Genesis Sample on GitHub](https://github.com/copyblogger/genesis-sample/) includes tooling to check code against WordPress standards. To use it: 1. Install Composer globally on your development machine. [See Composer setup steps](https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md#downloading-the-composer-executable). 2. In the command line, change directory to the Genesis Sample folder. 3. Type the command `composer install` to install PHP development dependencies. 4. Type `composer phpcs` to run coding standards checks. You'll see output highlighting issues with PHP files that do not conform to Genesis Sample coding standards. ### Packaging for distribution 1. Switch to the branch you plan to distribute. 2. Run `composer export` to zip all non-development files as `genesis-sample.zip`. The `export` command is an alias for `git archive -o genesis-sample.zip HEAD`. ## Theme Support Please visit https://my.studiopress.com/help/ for theme support.
