How to install Dawn theme on hydrogen

[justoverclockl]

I'm starting to play with this framework and i have few questions. i've created a react app with hydrogen and...

• how can i use Dawn theme locally? i can see the theme in my shopify store preview, but locally i see another default theme.
• how can i make "yarn dev" work? i get a "connection closed" error every time.

Hi @justoverclockl

1. Hydrogen is for 100% custom storefronts. You won't be able to "install" the dawn theme.
2. Update @shopify/cli and @shopify/hydrogen-cli to 3.3.3 in your package.json

Thx for the reply, but there's a way to clone a theme for example? Just to start from a base

Dawn is built in liquid, which is entirely different from Hydrogen, which is built in React. You could possibly manually take the HTML and CSS output from the dawn theme and port it over to Hydrogen React components. It would all be manual though.
