Hugo

bici

Hi.. Anyone able to point me to some documentation on how i can install Hugo on OS. Or should i develop locally and then push the finished website to my app/ directory on OS
I am open to using any other static web generator.
thanks

Installing Hugo is as easy as downloading the hugo binary and putting it in your shell user's ~/bin directory:

mkdir ~/bin
cd ~/bin
wget https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/releases/download/v0.73.0/hugo_0.73.0_Linux-64bit.tar.gz
tar zxf hugo_0.73.0_Linux-64bit.tar.gz hugo
rm hugo_0.73.0_Linux-64bit.tar.gz

After you've done that you can create a new Hugo site:

cd ~
hugo new site mysite

After you've edited or updated the site files, you can publish the site to a static app like:

cd ~/mysite
hugo -d ~/apps/appname

hmmm. i am unable to add a theme:

[bic@opal3 renzullosite]$ ls
archetypes  config.toml  content  data  layouts  static  themes
[bic@opal3 renzullosite]$ git submodule add https://github.com/budparr/gohugo-theme-ananke.git themes/ananke
fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

i run the command from within mysite?

EDIT. perhaps we need git installed?

sean

bici you need to run git init inside of your hugo site directory before you can perform other git operations in it.

sean thanks for your patience. this is a learning curve for me... it's like staring from scratch!

w00t. now working...

Thank you for these instructions. I was wondering if the method shown in GoHugo should work as well?

mkdir $HOME/src cd $HOME/src git clone https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo.git cd hugo go install --tags extended

When I try this on Opalstack it seems to hang at go install --tags extended

I've successfully used the instructions above but I wanted to make upgrading Hugo easier in the future.

weatherh go install --tags extended pulls in a large amount of stuff, in my test it took about 5 minutes to complete.
