gem 'gentheme'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install gentheme

Run

gentheme install themename

to create a folder themename inside which will be all the resources. The installation process could take some minutes because all resources are downloaded from the internet and there are a lot of npm packages required.

Once finished, open your broser at http://themename and you'll see your starter theme.

Use the option --path=./ to install the app without creating a folder named as theme name.

The theme is created in the themename/app folder.

A Wordpress is installed in the themename/wordpress folder.

Wordpress is already installed and the theme is already activated on it.

Follow the instructions at gulp-webapp to start editing your theme. Remember that your theme is a Underscore Theme.
