{% block excerpt %} How to use Drush to quickly build a new sub-theme of Zen. {% endblock %}

{% block content %} First, download the Zen theme if you haven't already done so.

$ drush dl zen

This will now enable you to use the "drush zen" command.

$ drush zen "Oliver Davies" oliverdavies --description="A Zen sub-theme for oliverdavies.co.uk" --without-rtl

The parameters that I'm passing it are:

1. The human-readable name of the theme.
2. The machine-readable name of the theme.
3. The description of the theme (optional).
4. A flag telling Drush not to include any right-to-left elements within my sub-theme as these aren't needed (optional).

This will create a new theme in sites/all/themes/oliverdavies.

For further help, type $ drush help zen to see the Drush help page for the zen command. {% endblock %}
