Hugo is written in [Go][] with support for multiple platforms.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The latest release can be found at [Hugo Releases](https://github.com/spf13/hugo/releases).
|
|||
|
We currently provide pre-built binaries for
|
|||
|
<i class="fa fa-windows"></i> Windows,
|
|||
|
<i class="fa fa-linux"></i> Linux,
|
|||
|
<i class="fa freebsd-19px"></i> FreeBSD
|
|||
|
and <i class="fa fa-apple"></i> OS X (Darwin)
|
|||
|
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 DragonFly BSD, OpenBSD, Plan 9 and Solaris. See http://golang.org/doc/install/source for the full set of supported combinations of target operating systems and compilation architectures.

|
## Installing Hugo (binary)
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Installation is very easy. Simply download the appropriate version for your
|
|||
|
platform from [Hugo Releases](https://github.com/spf13/hugo/releases).
|
|||
|
Once downloaded it can be run from anywhere. You don't need to install
|
|||
|
it into a global location. This works well for shared hosts and other systems
|
|||
|
where you don't have a privileged account.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Ideally, you should install it somewhere in your `PATH` for easy use.
|
|||
|
`/usr/local/bin` is the most probable location.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
On OS X, if you have [Homebrew](http://brew.sh/), installation is even
|
|||
|
easier: just run `brew update && brew install hugo`.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
### Installing Pygments (optional)
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The Hugo executable has one *optional* external dependency for source code highlighting (Pygments).
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
If you want to have source code highlighting using the [highlight shortcode](/extras/highlighting/),
|
|||
|
you need to install the Python-based Pygments program. The procedure is outlined on the [Pygments home page](http://pygments.org/).
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
## Upgrading Hugo
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Upgrading Hugo is as easy as downloading and replacing the executable you’ve
|
|||
|
placed in your `PATH`.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
## Installing from source
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
### Prerequisite tools for downloading and building source code
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
* [Git](http://git-scm.com/)
|
|||
|
* [Go][] 1.5+
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
### Get directly from GitHub
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
$ export GOPATH=$HOME/go
|
|||
|
$ go get -v github.com/spf13/hugo
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
`go get` will then fetch Hugo and all its dependent libraries to your
|
|||
|
`$GOPATH/src` directory, and compile everything into the final `hugo`
|
|||
|
(or `hugo.exe`) executable, which you will find sitting in the
|
|||
|
`$GOPATH/bin/` directory, all ready to go!
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
You may run `go get` with the `-u` option to update Hugo's dependencies:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
$ go get -u -v github.com/spf13/hugo
|
