# New iMac installation - No Styles **URL:** https://discourse.roots.io/t/new-imac-installation-no-styles/2045 **Category:** archived 🗄 **Created:** 2014-08-02T14:51:14Z **Posts:** 12 ## Post 1 by @marmaladepanda — 2014-08-02T14:51:14Z I have just started working on a new ‘out of the box’ machine. had a few issues setting up grunt, but it seems to be working now. - however when create a fresh roots installation, it has no style at all. - ie it does not seem to be picking up any stylesheet. - checked it in numerous browsers and they are all the same - zero styling. - is it something i may have overlooked on a fresh install - I did check the 101 but can’t seem to find anything --- ## Post 2 by @cfx — 2014-08-02T14:59:40Z Did you \*follow the 101 and add `define('WP_ENV', 'development');` to your `wp-config.php`? --- ## Post 3 by @marmaladepanda — 2014-08-02T15:40:22Z yes that’s in the config file. - it just looks like this, I have no idea why [screenshot](https://www.dropbox.com/s/ux4mqi5mby31snk/Screenshot%202014-08-02%2016.38.50.png) also now getting this npm WARN cannot run in wd roots@7.0.0 bower install --- ## Post 4 by @cfx — 2014-08-02T15:45:16Z Sounds like it may be a permissions issue with MAMP. You should reset permissions, delete `node_modules/` and run your `npm install` again. --- ## Post 5 by @marmaladepanda — 2014-08-02T15:56:18Z Im running files via dropbox if that sheds any light - how do i reset permissions in MAMP? - sorry, Ive just looked that up, but thers no clear cut how to, - is it something I do inside Mamp Pro? Gahh - Ive just noticed - brand new version. no wonder I am having issues - I’ll read the blog post - I was away when this was released and I am just getting back up and running again --- ## Post 7 by @cfx — 2014-08-02T16:01:30Z Are you encountering 404s in your error console? If so can you verify that the files are actually present? If they are then it is most likely a permissions issue but I’m not familiar with running MAMP and hosting files on dropbox. You need to ensure your MAMP user has sufficient permissions to read the Dropbox files. --- ## Post 8 by @marmaladepanda — 2014-08-02T16:03:42Z it works with all my previous local dev sites - im just starting to think its the new changes made to the roots theme that might be causing my issues? - just noticed the updated version and simpified bootstrap --- ## Post 9 by @cfx — 2014-08-02T17:27:46Z It’s unlikely that it’s some amorphous fluke. You’ll need to go through some debugging steps like the ones I mentioned to figure out what’s going wrong. But you’re not the only one with a [Bower installation issue](https://github.com/roots/roots/issues/1078). --- ## Post 10 by @marmaladepanda — 2014-08-04T17:47:22Z i have it working now. it seems once i put in one style it all loads properly --- ## Post 11 by @shaimoom — 2014-08-04T20:36:05Z Check out some of Ben’s responses to [a similar question that I had](http://discourse.roots.io/t/how-do-i-install-bootstrap-with-bower/2037). --- ## Post 12 by @ben — 2022-02-26T03:20:39Z
