Getting Started	1

Start as New Project

Before we start, make sure we have Hugo installed. We also need to have Git and Go installed if we want to use Hugo modules. Please refer to Hugo's official installation guide for more details.

{{% steps %}}

Initialize a new Hugo site

$ hugo new site my-site --format=yaml

Configure Hextra theme

Hugo modules are the recommended way to manage Hugo themes.

# initialize hugo module
$ cd my-site
$ hugo mod init github.com/username/my-site

# add Hextra theme
$ hugo mod get github.com/imfing/hextra

Edit config.yaml to enable Hextra theme:

module:
  imports:
    - path: github.com/imfing/hextra

Run Hugo server

$ hugo server -D

Voila! You can see your new site at http://localhost:1313/.
