Does a sub-theme needs the main theme enable?

Question

Just to clarified a doubt. But when creating a sub-theme, is it necessary to have the main theme enable ?

Thanks

No, it is not necessary. You need to have your base theme installed, but you don't need to enable it: https://www.drupal.org/node/225125#comment-7716513

EDIT: Note that if you want to access the settings for your base theme, you will need to enable it, as noted by @MPD in a comment below.

It can cause weirdness if you need to access base theme settings, since you won't be able to. – mpdonadio♦ Feb 20 '15 at 15:49
@MPD, you are completely right! I have just edited my answer. – dinopmi Feb 20 '15 at 15:54
