The following steps are here to help you initialize your new website. If you don't know Hugo at all, we strongly suggest you learn more about it by following this [great documentation for beginners](https://gohugo.io/overview/quickstart/).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Create your project
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Hugo provides a `new` command to create a new website.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
hugo new site <new_project>
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Install the theme
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Install the **Hugo-theme-learn** theme by following [this documentation](https://gohugo.io/getting-started/quick-start/#step-3-add-a-theme)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This theme's repository is: https://github.com/matcornic/hugo-theme-learn.git
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Alternatively, you can [download the theme as .zip](https://github.com/matcornic/hugo-theme-learn/archive/master.zip) file and extract it in the `themes` directory
|
||
|
|
|
||

|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Basic configuration
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When building the website, you can set a theme by using `--theme` option. However, we suggest you modify the configuration file (`config.toml`) and set the theme as the default. You can also add the `[outputs]` section to enable the search functionality.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```toml
|
||
|
|
# Change the default theme to be use when building the site with Hugo
|
||
|
|
theme = "hugo-theme-learn"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# For search functionality
|
||
|
|
[outputs]
|
||
|
|
home = [ "HTML", "RSS", "JSON"]
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Create your first chapter page
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Chapters are pages that contain other child pages. It has a special layout style and usually just contains a _chapter name_, the _title_ and a _brief abstract_ of the section.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
### Chapter 1
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Basics
|
||
|
|
|
||

|
||
|
|
**Hugo-theme-learn** provides archetypes to create skeletons for your website. Begin by creating your first chapter page with the following command
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
hugo new --kind chapter basics/_index.md
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
By opening the given file, you should see the property `chapter=true` on top, meaning this page is a _chapter_.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
By default all chapters and pages are created as a draft. If you want to render these pages, remove the property `draft: true` from the metadata.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Create your first content pages
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Then, create content pages inside the previously created chapter. Here are two ways to create content in the chapter:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
hugo new basics/first-content.md
|
||
|
|
hugo new basics/second-content/_index.md
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Feel free to edit thoses files by adding some sample content and replacing the `title` value in the beginning of the files.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Launching the website locally
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Launch by using the following command:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
hugo serve
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Go to `http://localhost:1313`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You should notice three things:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. You have a left-side **Basics** menu, containing two submenus with names equal to the `title` properties in the previously created files.
|
||
|
|
2. The home page explains how to customize it by following the instructions.
|
||
|
|
3. When you run `hugo serve`, when the contents of the files change, the page automatically refreshes with the changes. Neat!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Build the website
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When your site is ready to deploy, run the following command:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
hugo
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A `public` folder will be generated, containing all static content and assets for your website. It can now be deployed on any web server.
