# Hugo
|
|
A Fast and Flexible Static Site Generator built with love by [spf13](http://spf13.com)
|
|
and [friends](http://github.com/spf13/hugo/graphs/contributors) in Go.
|

|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
Hugo is a static site generator written in GoLang. It is optimized for
|
|
speed, easy use and configurability. Hugo takes a directory with content and
|
|
templates and renders them into a full html website.
|
|
|
|
Hugo makes use of markdown files with front matter for meta data.
|
|
|
|
A typical website of moderate size can be
|
|
rendered in a fraction of a second. A good rule of thumb is that Hugo
|
|
takes around 1 millisecond for each piece of content.
|
|
|
|
It is written to work well with any
|
|
kind of website including blogs, tumbles and docs.
|

# Getting Started
|
|
|
|
## Installing Hugo
|
|
|
|
Hugo is written in GoLang with support for Windows, Linux, FreeBSD and OSX.
|
|
|
|
The latest release can be found at [hugo releases](https://github.com/spf13/hugo/releases).
|
|
We currently build for Windows, Linux, FreeBSD and OS X for x64
|
|
and 386 architectures.
|
|
|
|
### Installing Hugo (binary)
|
|
|
|
Installation is very easy. Simply download the appropriate version for your
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
Ideally you should install it somewhere in your path for easy use. `/usr/local/bin`
|
|
is the most probable location.
|
|
|
|
*The Hugo executible has no external dependencies.*
|
|
|
|
### Installing from source
|
|
|
|
#### Dependencies
|
|
|
|
* Git
|
|
* Go 1.1+
|
|
* Mercurial
|
|
* Bazaar
|
|
|
|
#### Clone locally (for contributors):
|
|
|
|
git clone https://github.com/spf13/hugo
|
|
cd hugo
|
|
go get
|
|
|
|
Because go expects all of your libraries to be found in either $GOROOT or $GOPATH,
|
|
it's helpful to symlink the project to one of the following paths:
|
|
|
|
* ln -s /path/to/your/hugo $GOPATH/src/github.com/spf13/hugo
|
|
* ln -s /path/to/your/hugo $GOROOT/src/pkg/github.com/spf13/hugo
|
|
|
|
#### Get directly from Github:
|
|
|
|
If you only want to build from source, it's even easier.
|
|
|
|
go get github.com/spf13/hugo
|
|
|
|
#### Building Hugo
|
|
|
|
cd /path/to/hugo
|
|
go build -o hugo main.go
|
|
mv hugo /usr/local/bin/
|
|
|
|
#### Running Hugo
|
|
|
|
cd /path/to/hugo
|
|
go install github.com/spf13/hugo/hugolibs
|
|
go run main.go
|
