+## Theme
+
+To apply a theme, install the `spicetify-cli`.
+
+The user (and spceitfy-cli) need permission to write to the spotify
+directory in `opt/spotify`. To facilitate this, create a new group
+called `spotify` and assign it to the directories
+
+```sh
+groupadd -r spotify
+sudo chgrp spotify /opt/spotify
+sudo chgrp spotify /opt/spotify/Apps
+sudo chmod 775 /opt/spotify
+sudo chmod 775 -R /opt/spotify/Apps
+```
+
+Also make sure that your user is in the spotify group
+
+```sh
+usermod -aG spotify frank
+```
+
+Download the theme from <https://github.com/catppuccin/spicetify>
+
+Make sure to copy the `catppuccin` folder of this repository into `~/.config/spicetify/Themes/`
+and then apply the theme
+
+```sh
+cp -r catppuccin ~/.config/spicetify/Themes/
+spicetify config current_theme catppuccin
+spicetify config color_scheme frappe
+spicetify config inject_css 1 inject_theme_js 1 replace_colors 1 overwrite_assets 1
+spicetify apply
+```
+
+The accent color can be chosen from inside the Spotify Settings.
