Hugo comes in three versions: Standard, Extended, and Extended/Deploy. The Standard edition covers core functionalities, while Extended adds advanced options, with Extended/Deploy** offering further deployment features.
|
||
|
||
### Setting Up Your Directories
|
||
1. Open File Explorer and create a folder, e.g., `C:\Hugo`, and inside it, a `bin` folder.
|
||
|
||
### Installing Hugo
|
||
1. Download the latest Hugo executable from [Hugo releases](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/releases/).
|
||
2. Extract the contents into `..\Hugo\bin`.
|
||
3. Open Command Prompt as Administrator and add Hugo to the PATH:
|
||
```
|
||
setx PATH "%PATH%;C:\Hugo\bin"
|
||
```
|
||
Alternatively, add `C:\Hugo\bin` via Environment Variables.
|
||
|
||
4. Verify the installation by typing `hugo help` in the command prompt.
