Installation steps are not clear

Installation steps mentioned here are not working. Following the steps I don't see the theme applied on 'my-site' app and doesn't work.

mkdir my-site
cd my-site
yarn init -y
yarn add gatsby react react-dom @wkocjan/gatsby-theme-intro

Do I need to create a new gatsby project first before this theme can be applied?

I had some trouble with this too. What you need to do after the following steps is to create the gatsby-config.js file and copy/paste the sample config from the README. Afterwards run gatsby develop and I was able to get the test setup to show.

Agree @gouravsood . I do think the steps need to be updated for beginners. Such as installing gatsby, checking gatsby version, and then how to create the gatsby-config-.js file.
