git submodule install

[darkblue-b]

hi - I am new to hugo (as in, first hour). I installed hugo on Ubuntu via the hugo.deb .

Hugo Static Site Generator v0.51 linux/amd64 BuildDate: 2018-11-07T10:10:13Z

so I go to "choose a theme" .. the README does not fit me. The one-line direction from hugo says
"Download a theme into the same-named folder". git submodule complains that the new project dir is not a git repo.

a README ought to cover the very, very beginner case well.. thanks!
