{{% note %}} This quick start uses macOS in the examples. For instructions about how to install Hugo on other operating systems, see install.

You also need Git installed to run this tutorial. {{% /note %}}

Step 1: Install Hugo

{{% note %}} Homebrew, a package manager for macOS, can be installed from brew.sh. See install if you are running Windows etc. {{% /note %}}

brew install hugo

To verify your new install:

hugo version

{{< asciicast HDlKrUrbfT7yiWsbd6QoxzRTN >}}

Step 2: Create a New Site

hugo new site quickstart

The above will create a new Hugo site in a folder named quickstart.

{{< asciicast 1PH9A2fs14Dnyarx5v8OMYQer >}}

Step 3: Add a Theme

See themes.gohugo.io for a list of themes to consider. This quickstart uses the beautiful Ananke theme.

cd quickstart;\
git init;\
git submodule add https://github.com/budparr/gohugo-theme-ananke.git themes/ananke;\

# Edit your config.toml configuration file
# and add the Ananke theme.
echo 'theme = "ananke"' >> config.toml

{{< asciicast WJM2LEZQs8VRhNeuZ5NiGPp9I >}}

Step 4: Add Some Content

hugo new posts/my-first-post.md

Edit the newly created content file if you want. Now, start the Hugo server with drafts enabled:

▶ hugo server -D

Press Ctrl+C to stop

Navigate to your new site at http://localhost:1313/.

Step 5: Customize the Theme

Your new site already looks great, but you will want to tweak it a little before you release it to the public.

Site Configuration

Open up config.toml in a text editor:

baseURL = "https://example.org/"
languageCode = "en-us"
title = "My New Hugo Site"
theme = "ananke"

Replace the title above with something more personal. Also, if you already have a domain ready, set the baseURL. Note that this value is not needed when running the local development server.

{{% note %}} Tip: Make the changes to the site configuration or any other file in your site while the Hugo server is running, and you will see the changes in the browser right away, though you may need to clear your cache. {{% /note %}}

For theme specific configuration options, see the theme site.

For further theme customization, see Customize a Theme.
