Hi @ILaster 👋 Thanks for posting. Because this is happening locally, it can be challenging for our community members to give a specific solution. Hey @KenF @SteveHTM @EddBrisley, do you have any tips you can share with @ILaster?

Thank you! — Jaycee

@ILaster - In my experience can be a bit of a “fragile” setup and the underlying scripts get updated pretty frequently. Best advice is to make suire that everything is up to date - even to the point of reinstalling if required.

Good luck!

@SteveHTM do you need a certain plan to export themes?

@ILaster - I have never bumped into such a limitation, but I’ve probably always had plan access to CMS/Content hub.

I just realized though that you seem to be referencing marketplace contents - and that set of files is protected from download for commercial reasons. Do exports from your own account working area complete properly?

The intent is for you to build your site pages using a “child” @hubspot or @marketplace original theme. There are many reasons for this, but it gives you and your team access to all of the available theme “master” files, plus the option to add your own inspiration to customized the look, feel, and content. The export/upload functions of the CLI enable you to do that work using local tools - there is no need to try and export the proprietary master theme contents in order to reference them in your site.

See: [Child Themes - HubSpot docs](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/cms/building-blocks/themes/child-themes)

Just an FYI - if you do for soem reason require a variant of any specific master theme file, it can be cloned from the master theme to a child theme on an as needed basis before editing.

Good luck!

Steve
