Here's how to start your new website. If you're new to Hugo, we recommend learning more about it in its excellent [starter's guide](https://gohugo.io/getting-started/).
|
|
|
|
## Install Hugo
|
|
|
|
Download and install Hugo {{% badge color="fuchsia" icon="fa-fw fab fa-hackerrank" title=" " %}}0.126.0{{% /badge %}} or newer for your operating system [following the instructions](https://gohugo.io/installation/).
|
|
|
|
The _standard_ edition of Hugo is sufficient but you can also use the _extended_ edition.
|
|
|
|
## Create your Project
|
|
|
|
Use Hugo's `new site` command to make a new website
|
|
|
|
````shell
|
|
hugo new site my-new-site
|
|
````
|
|
|
|
Then move into the new directory
|
|
|
|
````shell
|
|
cd my-new-site
|
|
````
|
|
|
|
Run all future commands from this directory.
|
|
|
|
## Install the Theme
|
|
|
|
### Download as a Zip File
|
|
|
|
You can [download the theme as a .zip file](https://github.com/McShelby/hugo-theme-relearn/archive/main.zip) and unzip it into the `themes/hugo-theme-relearn` directory.
|
|
|
|
Then add this at the top of your `hugo.toml`
|
|
|
|
{{< multiconfig file=hugo >}}
|
|
theme = 'hugo-theme-relearn'
|
|
{{< /multiconfig >}}
|
|
|
|
### Use Hugo's Module System
|
|
|
|
Install the Relearn theme using [Hugo's module system](https://gohugo.io/hugo-modules/use-modules/#use-a-module-for-a-theme)
|
|
|
|
````shell
|
|
hugo mod init example.com
|
|
````
|
|
|
|
Then add this at the end of your `hugo.toml`
|
|
|
|
{{< multiconfig file=hugo >}}
|
|
[module]
|
|
[[module.imports]]
|
|
path = 'github.com/McShelby/hugo-theme-relearn'
|
|
{{< /multiconfig >}}
|
|
|
|
### Use as a Git Submodule
|
|
|
|
If you're using [Git](https://git-scm.com/) for your project, you can create a repository now
|
|
|
|
````shell
|
|
git init
|
|
````
|
|
|
|
Add the theme as a Git submodule
|
|
|
|
````shell
|
|
git submodule add --depth 1 https://github.com/McShelby/hugo-theme-relearn.git themes/hugo-theme-relearn
|
|
````
|
|
|
|
Then add this at the top of your `hugo.toml`
|
|
|
|
{{< multiconfig file=hugo >}}
|
|
theme = 'hugo-theme-relearn'
|
|
{{< /multiconfig >}}
|
|
|
|
## Create your Home Page
|
|
|
|
Start by making a home page
|
|
|
|
````shell
|
|
hugo new --kind home _index.md
|
|
````
|
|
|
|
The new home page file `content/_index.md` has two parts: the page info (like `title`) at the top, called [front matter](https://gohugo.io/content-management/front-matter/), and the page content below.
|
|
|
|
## Create your First Chapter Page
|
|
|
|
Chapters are top-level pages that contain other pages. They have a special layout.
|
|
|
|
Make your first chapter page
|
|
|
|
````shell
|
|
hugo new --kind chapter first-chapter/_index.md
|
|
````
|
|
|
|
The new file `content/first-chapter/_index.md` has a `weight` number in the front matter. This sets the chapter's subtitle and its order in the menu.
|
|
|
|
## Create your First Content Pages
|
|
|
|
Now make content pages inside the chapter. Here are three ways to do this
|
|
|
|
````shell
|
|
hugo new first-chapter/first-page/_index.md
|
|
hugo new first-chapter/second-page/index.md
|
|
hugo new first-chapter/third-page.md
|
|
````
|
|
|
|
Hugo treats these files differently based on their file names. Learn more in [Hugo's guide](https://gohugo.io/content-management/).
|
|
|
|
Feel free to edit these files. Change the `title`, add a `weight` if you want, and write your content.
|
|
|
|
## Test your Website Locally
|
|
|
|
Start your new website on your computer with this command
|
|
|
|
````shell
|
|
hugo serve
|
|
````
|
|
|
|
Open [http://localhost:1313](http://localhost:1313) in your web browser.
|
|
|
|
You can keep the server running while you edit. The browser will update automatically when you save changes.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Build and Deploy your Website
|
|
|
|
When your site is ready to go live, run this command
|
|
|
|
````shell
|
|
hugo
|
|
````
|
|
|
|
This creates a `public` directory with all your website files.
|
|
|
|
You can upload this directory to any web server, or use one of [Hugo's many other ways to publish](https://gohugo.io/hosting-and-deployment/).
|
|
|
|
## Next Steps
|
|
|
|
Your site is now fully functional.
|
|
|
|
You can continue [configuring your site](configuration) to your needs.
|
|
|
|
Or just start [authoring content](authoring) and discover what's possible.
