<h1 id="installation">Installation</h1>
<p>The following steps are here to help you initialize your new website. If you don’t know Hugo at all, we strongly suggest you learn more about it by following this <a href="https://gohugo.io/overview/quickstart/">great documentation for beginners</a>.</p>
<h2 id="create-your-project">Create your project</h2>
<p>Hugo provides a <code>new</code> command to create a new website.</p>
<pre tabindex="0"><code>hugo new site <new_project>
</code></pre><h2 id="install-the-theme">Install the theme</h2>
<p>Install the Relearn theme by following <a href="https://gohugo.io/getting-started/quick-start/#step-3-add-a-theme">this documentation</a></p>
<p>This theme’s repository is: <a href="https://github.com/McShelby/hugo-theme-relearn.git">https://github.com/McShelby/hugo-theme-relearn.git</a></p>
<p>Alternatively, you can <a href="https://github.com/McShelby/hugo-theme-relearn/archive/main.zip">download the theme as .zip</a> file and extract it in the <code>themes</code> directory</p>
<h2 id="basic-configuration">Basic configuration</h2>
<p>When building the website, you can set a theme by using <code>--theme</code> option. However, we suggest you modify the configuration file (<code>config.toml</code>) and set the theme as the default. You can also add the <code>[outputs]</code> section to enable the search functionality.</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre tabindex="0" class="chroma"><code class="language-toml" data-lang="toml"><span class="line"><span class="cl"><span class="c"># Change the default theme to be use when building the site with Hugo</span>

</span></span></code></pre></div><h2 id="create-your-first-chapter-page">Create your first chapter page</h2>
<p>Chapters are pages that contain other child pages. It has a special layout style and usually just contains a <em>chapter name</em>, the <em>title</em> and a <em>brief abstract</em> of the section.</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre tabindex="0" class="chroma"><code class="language-markdown" data-lang="markdown"><span class="line"><span class="cl"><span class="gu">### Chapter 1

<p>The Relearn theme provides archetypes to create skeletons for your website. Begin by creating your first chapter page with the following command</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre tabindex="0" class="chroma"><code class="language-shell" data-lang="shell"><span class="line"><span class="cl">hugo new --kind chapter basics/_index.md
</span></span></code></pre></div><p>By opening the given file, you should see the property <code>chapter=true</code> on top, meaning this page is a <em>chapter</em>.</p>
<p>By default all chapters and pages are created as a draft. If you want to render these pages, remove the property <code>draft: true</code> from the metadata.</p>
<h2 id="create-your-first-content-pages">Create your first content pages</h2>
<p>Then, create content pages inside the previously created chapter. Here are two ways to create content in the chapter:</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre tabindex="0" class="chroma"><code class="language-shell" data-lang="shell"><span class="line"><span class="cl">hugo new basics/first-content.md
</span></span><span class="line"><span class="cl">hugo new basics/second-content/_index.md
</span></span></code></pre></div><p>Feel free to edit those files by adding some sample content and replacing the <code>title</code> value in the beginning of the files.</p>
<h2 id="launching-the-website-locally">Launching the website locally</h2>
<p>Launch by using the following command:</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre tabindex="0" class="chroma"><code class="language-shell" data-lang="shell"><span class="line"><span class="cl">hugo serve
</span></span></code></pre></div><p>Go to <code>http://localhost:1313</code></p>
<p>You should notice three things:</p>
<ol>
<li>You have a left-side <strong>Basics</strong> menu, containing two submenus with names equal to the <code>title</code> properties in the previously created files.</li>
<li>The home page explains how to customize it by following the instructions.</li>
<li>When you run <code>hugo serve</code>, when the contents of the files change, the page automatically refreshes with the changes. Neat!</li>
</ol>
<h2 id="build-the-website">Build the website</h2>
<p>When your site is ready to deploy, run the following command:</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre tabindex="0" class="chroma"><code class="language-shell" data-lang="shell"><span class="line"><span class="cl">hugo
</span></span></code></pre></div><p>A <code>public</code> folder will be generated, containing all static content and assets for your website. It can now be deployed on any web server.</p>
<div class="box notices cstyle note">
<div class="box-label"><i class="fa-fw fas fa-exclamation-circle"></i> Note</div>
<div class="box-content">
