Installation

Hugo has excellent installation instructions for your platform. I use Linux and find it easiest to download prebuilt binaries from the GitHub latest release page. I recommend installing the so-called extended version.

Whatever method you use, you should be able to run the hugo command:

$ hugo version
hugo v0.147.9-29bdbde19c288d190e889294a862103c6efb70bf+extended linux/amd64 BuildDate=2025-06-23T08:22:20Z VendorInfo=gohugoio

Note: file paths and commands are shown using Linux format /, modify for Windows if needed \.
