{{% note %}}
This quick start uses `macOS` in the examples. For instructions about how to install Hugo on other operating systems, see [install](/getting-started/installing).
It is recommended to have [Git installed](https://git-scm.com/downloads) to run this tutorial.
{{% /note %}}
## Step 1: Install Hugo
{{% note %}}
`Homebrew`, a package manager for `macOS`, can be installed from [brew.sh](https://brew.sh/). See [install](/getting-started/installing) if you are running Windows etc.
{{% /note %}}
```bash
brew install hugo
```
To verify your new install:
```bash
hugo version
```
{{< asciicast HDlKrUrbfT7yiWsbd6QoxzRTN >}}
## Step 2: Create a New Site
```bash
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](https://themes.gohugo.io/) for a list of themes to consider. This quickstart uses the beautiful [Ananke theme](https://themes.gohugo.io/gohugo-theme-ananke/).
```bash
cd quickstart
# Download the theme
git init
git submodule add https://github.com/budparr/gohugo-theme-ananke.git themes/ananke
# Note for non-git users:
# - If you do not have git installed, you can download the archive of the latest
# version of this theme from:
# https://github.com/budparr/gohugo-theme-ananke/archive/master.zip
# - Extract that .zip file to get a "gohugo-theme-ananke-master" directory.
# - Rename that directory to "ananke", and move it into the "themes/" directory.
# End of note for non-git users.
# 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.
## Step 5: Start the Hugo server
Now, start the Hugo server with [drafts](/getting-started/usage/#draft-future-and-expired-content) enabled:
```
▶ hugo server -D
Started building sites ...
Built site for language en:
1 of 1 draft rendered
0 future content
0 expired content
1 regular pages created
8 other pages created
0 non-page files copied
1 paginator pages created
0 categories created
0 tags created
total in 18 ms
Watching for changes in /Users/bep/sites/quickstart/{data,content,layouts,static,themes}
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/](http://localhost:1313/).**
## Step 6: 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](https://kb.iu.edu/d/ahic).
{{% /note %}}
For theme specific configuration options, see the [theme site](https://github.com/budparr/gohugo-theme-ananke).
**For further theme customization, see [Customize a Theme](/themes/customizing/).**
