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.

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

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

Serving pages from memory
Web Server is available at http://localhost:1313/ (bind address 127.0.0.1)
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. {{% /note %}}
For theme specific configuration options, see the theme site.
For further theme customization, see Customize a Theme.
