Building a static site with Hugo

I have set up my own blog with Hugo and will summarize how to do it.

Installing Hugo

Hugo Releases Go to this site and Download “hugo_extended_version_number_OS_name.zip”. Then extract the zip file and register it in the PATH environment variable.

In my case, I put the extracted file in C:/Hugo and added it to the PATH environment variable. You can check the version with this command.

hugo -version

If you see the version number you installed, you have set the environment variable.

hugo v0.126.2-8f3d902ce51512931f5759e9279d93e346c9e649+extended windows/amd64 BuildDate=2024-05-30T15:19:22Z VendorInfo=gohugoio

Install Golang

Go to official Go language and download the installer. After opening the installer, basically choose Next.

After that, make sure your environment variables are registered.

Create site

Create a Hugo site with the following command.

hugo new site arbitrary folder name

Navigate to the path and check the contents of the folder.

cd . /optional folder name
tree /f

C:.
│ hugo.toml
│ hugo.toml
├─archetypes
│ default.md
│ ├─assets
├─assets
