If you don’t want to manage Hugo locally, then you can skip this process and visit the next page
Create A New Project
- Open Terminal and go to the location where you want to run your site.
- Create a new site with this command. It will add a folder with your PROJECT NAME
hugo new site my-project
Setup Your Project With Redlab
- Unzip the downloaded file, and you will get Redlab in the themes folder.
- Copy the
themes/redlab-hugointo themy-project/themesfolder so that you end up with a folder structure likemy-project/themes/redlab-hugo/
- Copy all files from the
exampleSitefolder into the project directory (my-project/). It overwrites existing files and folders. You can delete theexampleSitefolder afterward.
- Go to the project directory (In our case, it’s
my-project).
cd my-project
- Run Hugo to serve your project.
hugo server
- Now, you get a generated URL and open it in your browser. The default URL looks like this localhost:1313.
If your website doesn’t serve in your localhost, then check the theme name is correct in config.toml file. Then run hugo server command again.
