Anthony Fok b56c9db6dc [Docs] Add FreeBSD logo beside the FreeBSD name
Extracted from https://www.freebsd.org/logo/logo-simple.svg
for temporary use until a future Font Awesome release adds
the `fa-freebsd` glyph (github/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome#1116)  :-)

Make .fa `display: inline` to prevent unwanted line-wrapping

Also make the menu item "Issue & Help" line up with the others.

Hugo is written in Go with support for multiple platforms.
The latest release can be found at [Hugo Releases](https://github.com/spf13/hugo/releases).
We currently build for <i class="fa fa-windows"></i>&nbsp;Windows,
<i class="fa fa-linux"></i>&nbsp;Linux,
<i class="fa freebsd-19px"></i>&nbsp;FreeBSD
and <i class="fa fa-apple"></i>&nbsp;OS&nbsp;X
for x64 and i386 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.
On OS&nbsp;X, if you have [Homebrew](http://brew.sh), 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](/extras/highlighting),
you need to install the Python-based Pygments program. The procedure is outlined on the [Pygments home page](http://pygments.org).
## Upgrading Hugo
Upgrading Hugo is as easy as downloading and replacing the executable youve
placed in your `PATH`.
## Installing from source
### Dependencies
* Git
* Go 1.1+ (Go 1.4+ on Windows, see Go [Issue #8090](https://code.google.com/p/go/issues/detail?id=8090))
* Mercurial
* Bazaar
### Get directly from GitHub
$ export GOPATH=$HOME/go
$ go get -v github.com/spf13/hugo
`go get` will then fetch Hugo and all its dependent libraries to your
`$GOPATH/src` directory, and compile everything into the final `hugo`
(or `hugo.exe`) executable, which you will find sitting in the
`$GOPATH/bin/hugo` directory, all ready to go!
