Download GAX Pro Source Code from Gumroad

Purchase GAX Pro

GAX Pro is a premium theme distributed through Gumroad. The GAX engine itself is free and open source, but the theme files, iSimple Docs layouts, and setup documentation are part of the paid package.

To purchase:

1. Go to creativitaz.gumroad.com/l/gaxpro

2. Complete checkout — one-time payment, no subscription

3. You will receive a download link and a receipt by email

The Gumroad purchase gives you lifetime access to the theme files and future updates.

Download the Archive

After purchase, you can download the theme archive from two places:

From the Gumroad receipt email — the email includes a download button for the theme files.

From your Gumroad library — log in to Gumroad, go to your library, and download the theme from there. This is useful if you need to re-download later.

The archive is a .zip file with the full GAX Pro package.

What Is in the Archive

The GAX Pro archive contains:

  • content/ — starter content (homepage, about, contact, blog, docs, projects, services, tags)
  • templates/ — layouts and partials for the theme
  • public/ — CSS, JavaScript, and images
  • _data/ — configuration files including config.yaml
  • cmd/ — the GAX build command source
  • go.mod and go.sum — Go module files
  • LICENSE — theme license
  • README.md — quick start guide

The GAX engine is also available separately on GitHub if you want to inspect the source before buying.

Extract the Archive

Extract the .zip file to a folder where you want to work on the site.

On Windows — right-click the .zip file, select Extract All, and choose a destination folder.

On macOS — double-click the .zip file. It extracts to the same folder.

On Linux — run:


unzip gaxpro.zip -d gaxpro

After extraction, you should have a folder named gaxpro (or whatever you named it) with the project files inside.

Verify the Files

Open a terminal and go into the project folder:


cd path/to/gaxpro

Then list the files:


dir

On macOS or Linux:


ls

You should see at least these files and folders:


content/
templates/
public/
_data/
cmd/
go.mod
go.sum

If these are present, the download is complete and the project is ready to run.

What If the Download Fails

Download link expired — Gumroad download links are time-limited. Log in to your Gumroad library to re-download.

Archive is corrupted — re-download the file. If the problem repeats, contact us with the order number.

Missing files after extraction — make sure the extraction completed. Some tools report an error if the disk is full or the path is too long. Extract to a shorter path if needed.

Next Step

The theme is downloaded and extracted. Now run the project:

If you want browser-based editing, continue to Run with Decap CMS after the project runs.
