Install Hugo

- [Instructor] The first step is installing Hugo on your own machine. You can follow the instructions at the official Hugo website at gohugo.io for your platform. On a Mac you can use Homebrew to install Hugo with one command, or you can install it manually by following the instructions. If you're on Windows 10, like I am, you can download the Hugo EXE and install it manually, or if you have Chocolatey, you can install it using PowerShell. No matter which platform you're on or how you install Hugo, you should be able to open up your terminal or, on Windows 10, PowerShell in the Start menu, and then run hugo version. If you see a version string like this, you're good to go. If you see an error instead, retrace your steps through the installation guide and make sure you didn't miss anything.
