Drupal with Appearance is not able to see Theme - mystery [closed]

With Drupal I got a new Mac and I installed the Drupal item and went well.

However when I am looking at 'Appearance' I can not see 'Install new theme', it's not there, basically it's missing.

I have gone through a few things such as

/sites/default/settings.php

$settings['allow_authorize_operations'] = TRUE;

Also tried

Administer modules permission

And nothing works! It has to do with MySQL possibly.

Can someone please help me. This is very frustrating.

Missing 'Install new theme'

Not there


Solution 1:

You need to install the Update Manager. Quote from the documentation:

Site prerequisites
If you want to install via the website, the core Update Manager module must be installed.

  1. Navigate to Extend
  2. Enable Update Manager
  3. Click on Install
  4. Navigate to Configuration -> Development -> Performance
  5. Click on Clear all caches

Now go back to Appearance. The Button is now there.
