Hi I’m kinda new to sage and I am trying to start a sage 10 project . I use xampp to have my local site to work on sage and I have access to dashboard and there’s no problem with that, I have installed the latest versions of all needed tools to create sage :  
Php 8.1.2  
Composer 2.3.7  
Node 18.4.0  
Yarn 1.22.19  
Acorn ,

I tried this to install acorn with the plugin : I extracted the plugin to  
my plugins directory : /opt/lampp/htdocs/wordpress/wp-content/plugins  
then I activated the plugin through dashboard  
and created sage theme using :  
$ composer create-project roots/sage MySage dev-main on my directory (/opt/lampp/htdocs/wordpress/wp-content/themes)  
but it _didn’t ask me to add options of the theme_ , BTW I tried to activate my theme through dashboard and it gave me the following error :  
_There has been a critical error on this website. Please check your site admin email inbox for instructions._  
[Learn more about troubleshooting WordPress.](https://wordpress.org/support/article/faq-troubleshooting/)  
and also I have to change activated theme from my phpmyadmin in order to have access to my dashboard when this happens . the error must be from my Acorn plugin , but I’m not sure what to do.  
I tried installing acorn through terminal and this time I get this error :  
You need to install Acorn to use this theme.  
any ideas ?

Can you confirm you’ve read [the installation docs](https://roots.io/sage/docs/installation/) and state the problem you’re having, including any errors you’ve encountered?
