Bear Skin is the default theme for the Bear profile, which is a Drupal starter kit installation profile that can be used for building a new Drupal site. Bear Skin does not rely on the profile. Therefore, it can be used as a standalone starter theme.

Before getting started, make sure that you have the latest version of node.js and yeoman installed. It is preferred to install node via n using curl -L http://git.io/n-install | bash.

Also, you will need to have composer installed. On a Mac, this is easiest with homebrew.
