How to edit/change this theme

Simply clone the theme to your machine. All changes done to the the templates do not require compilation, only searxng reload. When changing static elements (css, images etc), edit files in src/. Once done run grunt to compile. To do so, in your running searxng instance, your first need to:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/master/install.sh | bash
source ~/.profile or ~/.bashrc
nvm install 18.19.0 # or whatever version you want
npm install -g npm
cd searx/static/themes/beetroot
npm install
npm install -g grunt-cli

Then you can run grunt from searx/static/themes/beetroot. Those compiled files can be found in searx/static/themes/beetroot/css

If you want to test in live mode all your changes to the beetroot theme, you need working searx instance with your changes pulled into it. You can then either select the theme from UI or run searx with theme by running LIVE_THEME=beetroot make run from searx-src folder and edit.
