This is on my agenda — there is an issue with local generation. We hope to have it resolved and provide updated documentation by the end of today.

I’ll follow-up with you here when it’s ready to roll. Sorry for the inconvenience!

we are working to improve this process, but here is what you can do in the meantime. Install your theme from npm. Then create a file, something like formkit.theme.config.ts and inside there just re-export your theme:

import myTheme from 'your-custom-theme'

export default myTheme

Then you can use the cli to generate your theme:

npx formkit theme --theme=./formkit.theme.config.ts

This is fixed in 1.5.4. New docs available here: https://formkit.com/guides/create-a-tailwind-theme#installing-a-published-theme
