Running the jsonresume-theme-professional theme locally

[saeedesmaili]

I spent a few hours trying to run the jsonresume-theme-professional theme locally (via jsonresume-cli and resumed), with no success. Neither installing from npm nor copying the theme files and installing it locally worked. I get the following error when serving the resume locally after installing via npm install @jsonresume/jsonresume-theme-professional:

There was an error downloading your generated html resume from our server: Error: Method Not Allowed

Can someone guide on how this can be done?

And when exporting, I get another error that I can't figure out how to fix it (the same command works fine with onepage-plus theme):

resume export --theme ./node_modules/jsonresume-theme-professional resume.pdf
or
resume export --theme ./node_modules/@jsonresume/jsonresume-theme-professional resume.pdf

both returns:

You have to install this theme relative to the folder to use it e.g. `npm install /Users/username/l/jsonresume/node_modules/jsonresume-theme-professional/index.js`

Ive been dealing with a similar problem, but I think I managed to figure it out.

First it might help to reset your environment:
npm ls -g --depth=0 is what helped me figure out what is installed.

Now, I have two folders, I have my folder with my json and I have my folder which has a theme it it:

/src/resume-json/
/src/jsonresume-theme-macchiato

Try this?

cd /src/jsonresume-theme-macchiato
npm install
npm link
cd /src/resume-json/
npm link jsonresume-theme-macchiato

# try it?
resume export --resume resume.json --format pdf --theme macchiato public/resume.pdf

Now I can make changes to jsonresume-theme-macchiato and when I rebuild the resume my expected changes are shown.
