Installation is very easy. Simply download the appropriate version for your
platform. Once downloaded it can be run from anywhere. You don't need to install
it into a global location. This works well for shared hosts and other systems
where you don't have a privileged account.

Ideally you should install it somewhere in your path for easy use. `/usr/local/bin`

is the most probable location.
*Hugo has no external dependencies.*
