A Fast and Flexible Static Site Generator built with love by bep, spf13 and friends in Go.
Website | Forum | Documentation | Installation Guide | Contribution Guide | Twitter
Overview
Hugo is a static HTML and CSS website generator written in Go. It is optimized for speed, ease of use, and configurability. Hugo takes a directory with content and templates and renders them into a full HTML website.
Hugo relies on Markdown files with front matter for metadata, and you can run Hugo from any directory. This works well for shared hosts and other systems where you don’t have a privileged account.
Hugo renders a typical website of moderate size in a fraction of a second. A good rule of thumb is that each piece of content renders in around 1 millisecond.
Hugo is designed to work well for any kind of website including blogs, tumbles, and docs.
Supported Architectures
Currently, we provide pre-built Hugo binaries for Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, DragonFly BSD, Open BSD, macOS (Darwin), and Android for x64, i386 and ARM architectures.
Hugo may also be compiled from source wherever the Go compiler tool chain can run, e.g. for other operating systems including Plan 9 and Solaris.
Complete documentation is available at Hugo Documentation.
Choose How to Install
If you want to use Hugo as your site generator, simply install the Hugo binaries. The Hugo binaries have no external dependencies.
To contribute to the Hugo source code or documentation, you should fork the Hugo GitHub project and clone it to your local machine.
Finally, you can install the Hugo source code with go, build the binaries yourself, and run Hugo that way.
Building the binaries is an easy task for an experienced go getter.
Install Hugo as Your Site Generator (Binary Install)
Use the installation instructions in the Hugo documentation.

Prerequisite Tools
Fetch from GitHub
Since Hugo 0.48, Hugo uses the Go Modules support built into Go 1.11 to build. The easiest is to clone Hugo in a directory outside of GOPATH, as in the following example:
mkdir $HOME/src
cd $HOME/src
git clone https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo.git
cd hugo
go install
If you are a Windows user, substitute the $HOME environment variable above with %USERPROFILE%.
The Hugo Documentation
The Hugo documentation now lives in its own repository, see https://github.com/gohugoio/hugoDocs. But we do keep a version of that documentation as a git subtree in this repository. To build the sub folder /docs as a Hugo site, you need to clone this repo:
git clone git@github.com:gohugoio/hugo.git
