6. Install the Premium Theme

To access the premium UI theme, you'll need a valid access token. Request access by emailing us at info@jstemplate.net. Once you have your token, follow these steps:

🔒 Set Up Private Registry

npm config set @jstemplate:registry=https://api.keygen.sh/v1/accounts/88de7a21-b541-48e5-8727-f992ebeb43fa/artifacts/
npm config set "//api.keygen.sh/v1/accounts/88de7a21-b541-48e5-8727-f992ebeb43fa/artifacts/:_authToken" "$NPM_TOKEN"

To avoid hardcoding, use an env var:

npm config set @jstemplate:registry 'https://api.keygen.sh/v1/accounts/88de7a21-b541-48e5-8727-f992ebeb43fa/artifacts/'
npm config set '//api.keygen.sh/v1/accounts/88de7a21-b541-48e5-8727-f992ebeb43fa/artifacts/:_authToken=${NPM_TOKEN}'

🛠 Install Theme with Token
