Installation for Mastodon Admins
Setting up Tangerine UI for your Mastodon instance is straightforward. Follow this analogy: think of Tangerine UI as a new art style that you want to feature in your community gallery. You’ll need to ensure that the art style is compatible with your existing gallery (Mastodon instance) before you introduce it to your visitors (users).
Step 1: Check Your Mastodon Version
Before you proceed, verify that your instance is running a compatible version of Mastodon.
Step 2: Install Tangerine UI
For your gallery, you can:
- Use the Custom CSS field in the administration panel to apply Tangerine UI as the only theme.
- Or, if you want users to have the option, consider adding Tangerine UI to your themes directory.
Step 3: Compile and Restart
Just like ensuring everything is in place before the gallery opens, run the necessary commands to compile theme assets and restart your instance for the changes to take effect!
Accessibility
It’s essential to consider that some users may depend on Mastodon’s High Contrast theme. Therefore, installing Tangerine UI as an optional theme is highly recommended to accommodate various user preferences.
