Installation

To use this theme you will need to have Hugo installed. If you don't already have Hugo installed please follow the official installation guide

Check Hugo version (Hugo 0.51+ Extended is required)

This theme uses Hugo Pipes to compile SCSS and minify assets. Please make sure you have the Hugo Extended version installed. If you are not using the extended version this theme will not not compile.

To check your version of Hugo, run:

hugo version

This will output the currently installed version of Hugo. Make sure you see /extended after the version number, for example Hugo Static Site Generator v0.51/extended darwin/amd64 BuildDate: unknown You do not need to use version v0.51 specifically, you can use any version of Hugo above 0.51. It just needs to have the /extended part

Create a new Hugo site

hugo new site mynewsite

This will create a fresh Hugo site in the folder mynewsite.
