I followed the installation guide mentioned here and successfully connected to the SharePoint online tenant using the following PowerShell command:

Connect-PnPOnline https://<tenant>-admin.sharepoint.com/

Then, I executed the Invoke-PnPSiteTemplate command to apply the PnP Site Template, but encountered an error that the specified file does not exist. Upon searching, I found that the root directory did not exist at all.

I have attached the relevant error screenshots for reference.

    The path ".\your-template-file.pnp" implies that you're using the current directory. If that's the root of the drive "D:", and the screenshot of file explorer (I'm assuming what it is) is of that drive then it shows that there's no such file there -- or that it's hidden or system file and you haven't configured the file explorer to show all files.

    Do you see the file when you run the cmdlet below?

    Get-ChildItem -Path D:\* -Force

    Please try to use below PnP PowerShell to apply theme for a SharePoint site.

    #Config Variables
$SiteURL = "https://tenant.sharepoint.com/sites/emilytest"
$TemplateXML  ="D:\PnP-Theme.xml"
  
#Connect to PnP Online
Connect-PnPOnline -Url $SiteURL -Interactive
 
#Apply provisioning Template
Invoke-PnPSiteTemplate -path $TemplateXML

    Note: You should run PowerShell as administrator.
