Anthony Fok b0181e278b Some more random copyediting of Hugo docs 
- Change "livereload" and "live reload" to "LiveReload";
 - Add a `$ ` prompt before example command lines
   (not exhaustive, work in progress);
 - Remove unnecessary whitespace from partials;
 - Revise the blackfriday options table in overview/configuration.md
   to make it narrower.
 - Manually set the language for highlight.js where appropriate
 - Rename "404" to "Custom 404 page", and remove incorrect reference
   to "homepage"
 - Credit the author of tutorials/github_pages_blog.md
   (Similar notes are necessary for other contributed pages where
    "I" am not spf13 to avoid reader confusion.)
 - Add CSS for `kbd` and `table` etc. to css/style.css;
 - etc.

/overview/usage /overview/quickstart Installing Hugo 20

Hugo is written in Go with support for Windows, Linux, FreeBSD and OS X.

The latest release can be found at Hugo Releases. We currently build for Windows, Linux, FreeBSD and OS X for x64 and i386 architectures.

Installing Hugo (binary)

Installation is very easy. Simply download the appropriate version for your platform from 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.

On OS X, if you have Homebrew, installation is even easier: just run brew install hugo.

Installing Pygments (optional)

The Hugo executable has one optional external dependency for source code highlighting (Pygments).

If you want to have source code highlighting using the highlight shortcode, you need to install the Python-based Pygments program. The procedure is outlined on the Pygments home page.

Upgrading Hugo

Upgrading Hugo is as easy as downloading and replacing the executable you’ve placed in your PATH.
