I am new to Prismic and have been setting up projects in React and Gatsby using sample projects to get comfortable. Then client just requested they want their site in NextJS. I have tried setting up the nextJS sample site and repository is not getting created on my dashboard. I tried to create repos using react and gatsby again and they're now being unsuccessful.
I created another account just to test if my older account is now limited, but new account isn't making a repo as well.
prismic theme --theme-url [GitHub - prismicio/nextjs-website](https://github.com/prismicio/nextjs-website)
We are checking the theme integrity
Let's get to it!
? **Name your prismic repository:** rePoNamehere
? **Local folder to initalize project:** rePoNamehere
**An unexpected error occured**
Initialize local project
Running npm install...
(node:1662) ExperimentalWarning: The fs.promises API is experimental
Your project is ready, to proceed:
Thanks.

Hi @gGo,
Welcome to the Prismic forum, and thanks for posting 😊 It's great to hear that you're getting going with Prismic.
This is a strange error, and I'm getting the same issue on my computer. I think there might be some work underway on the `prismic theme` CLI command right now, so I'll check in with the dev team and get back to you.
Please let me know if there's anything else I can help you with in the meantime.
Sam

Thanks for getting back to me! I enjoy using and learning Prismic until this roadblock. 😅 Can you please let me know when will the work on prismic-theme CLI be done? Is there an alternative to run and replicate sample sites in the meantime?

Hey @gGo,
I'll definitely let you know when I hear back. To use samples in the meantime, you can set them up manually:
- Fork the GitHub repo you want to use to your GitHub account.
- Clone the repo with `git clone [repo-git-url]` .
- Run `npm i` to install all the dependencies.
- Create a Prismic repository.
- In your Prismic repo, create a custom type matching the name of each file in the `~/custom_types/` directory (don't include `.json` , and take care to specify correctly whether it's a singleton [homepage, menu] or a repeatable [post, page]).
- In the Prismic Custom Type editor, open the JSON Editor. Copy-paste the content of each custom type JSON file into the Prismic JSON editor for that custom type.
- Update the Prismic API endpoint in the configuration file ( `~/prismic-configuration.js` , if you're using Next.js)
Try that out and let me know how it goes! If you have any more questions I'm here 🙂

Hey @gGo,
I just tested the `prismic theme` CLI command, and it seems to be working fine again. Let me know if you run into any issues 🙂
