## Installing Hugo (binary)
Installation is very easy. Simply download the appropriate version for your
2013-07-24 11:43:23 -04:00
platform from [hugo releases](https://github.com/spf13/hugo/releases).
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.
2013-07-04 11:32:55 -04:00
Ideally you should install it somewhere in your path for easy use. `/usr/local/bin`
2013-07-04 11:32:55 -04:00
is the most probable location.
The Hugo executable has one *optional* external dependency for source code highlighting (pygments).
### Installing pygments
If you want to have source code highlighting using the [highlight shortcode](/extras/highlighting)
you need to install the python-based pygments program. The procedure is outlined on the [pygments home page](http://pygments.org).
