Hugo Framework

Installing Hugo

First of all you will need to setup a Hugo site. You can follow the Hugo Quick Start Guide for that.

The next step is to install a theme. Instructions for doing so can be found in the Hugo themes documentation.

A list of all available themes can be browsed here.

The theme I have chosen to use for this website is cloned from: achary/engimo

Installing a Theme

There are two different ways you can install Engimo as a theme:

  1. Clone repo:
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/achary/engimo themes/engimo
  1. As a submodule
git submodule add https://github.com/achary/engimo themes/engimo

This will add Engimo’s repository as a submodule to your site’s repository. Now, you will have to pull/update the theme:

git submodule init
git submodule update

The second method is recommended.

That’s all, Engimo is ready to be used.
