[sphinxjp.themes.htmlslide] Throws 'No theme found' (Sphinx beginner)

[Varenne Riocha]

Hallo Sphinx-users

Sphinx beginner and only a couple weeks in to Python world. Likely that I am making a nooby mistake.

I want to try https://pythonhosted.org/sphinxjp.themes.htmlslide/ and getting 'No theme found'. This is what I am doing. BTW, on Debian Linux "Buster" derivative MX-Linux. Conda installed.

$ cat ~/.conda_init

# >>> conda initialize >>>

# !! Contents within this block are managed by 'conda init' !!

__conda_setup="$('/usr/local/anaconda3/bin/conda' 'shell.bash' 'hook' 2> /dev/null)"

if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then

    eval "$__conda_setup"

else

    if [ -f "/usr/local/anaconda3/etc/profile.d/conda.sh" ]; then

        . "/usr/local/anaconda3/etc/profile.d/conda.sh"

    else

        export PATH="/usr/local/anaconda3/bin:$PATH"

    fi

fi

unset __conda_setup

# <<< conda initialize <<<

$ source ~/.conda_init

$ sphinx-quickstart myslides

(all y/n with enter)

$ cd myslides

(cleaned config.py attached)

$ make html

(gives me the expected ./_build/html)

Edited conf.py making

extensions = ['sphinxjp.themecore'] 

$ make html

make html

Sphinx v3.1.2 in Verwendung

WARNING: the extension 'sphinxjp.themecore' was already merged with Sphinx since version 1.2; this extension is ignored.

loading pickled environment... erledigt

So I took the change back.

Then edited conf.py to

html_theme = 'htmlslide'  

$ make html

loading pickled environment... erledigt

Theme error:

no theme named 'htmlslide' found (missing theme.conf?)

$ sudo easy_install sphinxjp.themes.htmlslide

But still

$ make html

What I am doing wrong?

I tried the conf.py of both sphinxjp.themes.htmlslide and sphinxjp.themes.revealjs from https://sphinx-themes.org/, with the same result. How do I add the theme to Sphinx? I'm on Debian 10, environment controlled by conda, as wrote earlier.

[Matt from Documatt]

I have no exact answer because you use Anaconda instead of venv/virtualenv and an old theme. However, try the following:

1. Create fresh virtual environment.

2. Don't install theme with easy_install. It's very old way of installing Python stuff. Because you use Conda, I can't help you. But if you would use standard virtualenv or venv builtin module, command would be "pip3 install sphinxjp.themes.htmlslide".

3. "make HTML" should work now

Hi Matt

Thanks for the reply. In fact I had a virtualenv also ready. So I did this:

$ source .pythonenv/bin/activate

$ pip3 install sphinxjp.themes.htmlslide

(ran without problems)

$ sphinx-quickstart myslides

$ cd myslides/

$ make html

(I get the expected web site)

$ vi conf.py 

(changed html_theme = 'htmlslide')

$ make html

Sphinx v3.2.1 in Verwendung

loading pickled environment... erledigt

Theme error:
no theme named 'htmlslide' found (missing theme.conf?)

make: *** [Makefile:20: html] Fehler 2

So the same reaction. Something more is missing. All help appreciated.
