ghost error 500- failed to lookup view "index" in views directory "/app/content/themes/buster"

Hi everyone!
I'm trying to create a ghost blog hosted with heroku.
I wanted to change the default theme so I git-cloned the buster directory (into /content/themes. I deployed everything to heroku. Then I went to my personal ghost user area, settings > general and the new theme is shown in the themes list (so far so good).
I activated the new theme, but when I try to see how the site turned out all I get is a 500 error message (failed to lookup view "index" in views directory "/app/content/themes/buster").
Any idea as to why this is happening and how to solve it?
Thanks for the help!

Hi @annalisa-zanin,

I did a quick online search and found that this sometimes happens when you clone a theme from git on heroku. See the reply on Fan Zhang's comment at http://docs.ghostchina.com/themes/. Can you try downloading the repo as a zip-file and extract it to the themes folder (so without git) and get back to me?

It worked! Thank you @daanbeverdam
