Installation

MacOS

You'll need to install hugo using homebrew.

1. Go to the homebrew website and follow the directions. The most important step is:

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

you might need to update permissions on the /usr/local/ directory. Not too scary.

2. Run the brew command to install hugo

First update Homebrew

$ brew update

Then install Hugo

$ brew install hugo

Hugo gets installed in the /usr/local/bin/ directory, so it should be accessible to all users on your system

3. Verify hugo runs correctly

$ hugo version
