This guide will walk You thrugh installing Hugo on a Windows 11 PC. For the official install guide, You can wisit <https://gohugo.io/gettingstarted/installing/>.
|
|
|
|
## Download Binaries
|
|
|
|
The path of least resistance is to just download the .zip file from the official Hugo GitHub Repository [here](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/releases).
|
|
|
|
The theme that are used, needs the extended version of Hugo, so make sure to download the **extended** version by ensuring the file name starts with `hugo_extended...`
|

For the purpose of this install guide, we are assuming You will want to follow the "standard" used by Hugo for installing. We will be creating a `Hugo` folder in the root of `C:\`. That folder will have a `Bin` folder for the binaries, and a `Sites` folder for each website You are building.
|
|
|
|
Once You are done, You should have a folder structure that looks like this:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
C:\Hugo
|
|
├── Bin # Binaries
|
|
└┬─ Sites # Hugo Site Repositories
|
|
└── alguidelines # Hugo Source for alguidelines.dev
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
{{% /alert %}}
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After downloading the .zip file, extract the zip-file to `c:\Hugo\Bin`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Add Hugo to Path
|
|
|
|
After copying the binaries to Your PC, You will need to add Hugo binaries to the `%PATH%` system environment variables.
|
|
|
|
To do that, search for `environment`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
once you see the `Edit the system environment variables`, open it and select `Environment Variables`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Once the Environment Variables screen is open, highlight the `Path` lines and press the `Edit...` button
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now press `New` and add the `C:\Hugo\Bin` to the path. Press `OK` and `OK` to save the new `Path`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Once complete. You should now be able to preview the Hugo site on <http://localhost:1313> by opening a command promt, and open the `C:\Hugo\Sites\alguidelines` folder and execute `Hugo Serve`
