Step 2 - Download Flextype

1. Open Terminal, and navigate to the directory where you want to install Flextype.

2. Next, run the following command to download Flextype from the official website:

   git clone https://github.com/flextype/flextype.git .

Step 3 - Install Flextype

1. Once you have downloaded Flextype, navigate to the root directory of Flextype by typing the following command in the terminal:
