You must have Hugo installed on your system and available in your $PATH as a global binary. Most operating systems are supported – follow the relevant Install Hugo instructions for your operating system guides to get started.

Important: This project is built with version 0.92.2+extended but 0.92.x is the minimum required version. You may (probably) use a newer version of Hugo, but will be subject to any Hugo changes.

You must also have a recent version of Node.js (14+) installed. You may use Volta, a Node version manager, to install the latest version of Node and npm, which is a package manager that is included with node's installation.

$ curl https://get.volta.sh | bash
$ volta install node

Finally, you will need to install the Node.js dependencies for this project using npm or another package manager:

$ npm install

When making changes to the site, including any content changes, you may run a local development server by running the following command:

$ npm run dev

This spawns a server that will be accessible via http://localhost:1313 in your browser. Additionally, any changes made within the project – including content/** changes – will automatically reload your browser tab(s), allowing you to instantly preview your changes!

Additionally, this project includes a CI step for ensuring consistent code style. This applies to all files within the project, including markdown (*.md) files, but will not affect the content itself or the content's output display. To see the style error(s), you may run:

$ npm run lint

Finally, some of these code-style errors may be fixed automatically. To do so, you may run:

$ npm run format
