Hugo

Installation

Method 1

Intall Hugo

$ wget https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/releases/download/v0.54.0/hugo_0.54.0_Linux-64bit.deb
$ sudo dpkg -i hugo_0.54.0_Linux-64bit.deb
$ sudo apt install -f

Create a new test site with Dot theme in a directory named Dot

$ hugo new site dot

Add a theme

$ cd dot
$ git init
$ cd themes
$ git submodule add https://github.com/Gethugothemes/dot-hugo-documentation-theme.git
$ mv dot-hugo-documentation-theme dot
$ cp -R dot/exampleSite/* ../
$ cd ..

Note that we do not use git clone but we use git submodule add. This is required if you want to host your site in Netlify

Also, if you are deploying into Netlify, you must add some dummy file in the following directories and commit them:

touch archetypes/.gitkeep
touch content/.gitkeep
touch layouts/.gitkeep
touch static/.gitkeep
touch data/.gitkeep

Start the Hugo development server:

$ hugo server -w

Now you can go to localhost:1313 and the Dot theme should be visible.

Edit your config.toml configuration file and add the Ananke theme:

$ echo 'theme = "ananke"' >> config.toml

Add some content

$ hugo new posts/my-first-post.md

Edit content/posts/my-first-post.md

Start the Hugo server with Draft enabled

$ hugo server -D
