To fetch, build and install from the Github source:
```bash
mkdir $HOME/src
cd $HOME/src
git clone https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo.git
cd hugo
go install
go install github.com/gohugoio/hugo@latest
```
**If you are a Windows user, substitute the `$HOME` environment variable above with `%USERPROFILE%`.**
If you want to compile with Sass/SCSS support use `--tags extended` and make sure `CGO_ENABLED=1` is set in your go environment. If you don't want to have CGO enabled, you may use the following command to temporarily enable CGO only for hugo compilation:
```bash
CGO_ENABLED=1 go install --tags extended
CGO_ENABLED=1 go install --tags extended github.com/gohugoio/hugo@latest
