Inside the folder of your Hugo site run:

    $ cd themes

    $ git clone https://github.com/saey55/hugo-elate-theme

For more information read the official [setup guide](//gohugo.io/overview/installing/) of Hugo.

## Getting started

After installing the Elate Theme successfully it requires a just a few more steps to get your site running.

### The config file

Take a look inside the [`exampleSite`](//github.com/saey55/hugo-elate-theme/tree/master/exampleSite) folder of this theme. You'll find a file called [`config.toml`](//github.com/saey55/hugo-elate-theme/blob/master/exampleSite/config.toml). To use it, copy the [`config.toml`](//github.com/saey55/hugo-elate-theme/blob/master/exampleSite/config.toml) in the root folder of your Hugo site. Feel free to change the strings in this theme.

### Make the contact form working

Since this page will be static, you can use [formspree.io](//formspree.io/) as proxy to send the actual email. Each month, visitors can send you up to one thousand emails without incurring extra charges. Begin the setup by following the steps below:

1. Enter your email address under 'email' in the [`config.toml`](//github.com/saey55/hugo-elate-theme/blob/master/exampleSite/config.toml)

2. Enable form by setting `enable` to `true` in contact settings

3. Upload the generated site to your server

4. Send a dummy email yourself to confirm your account

5. Click the confirm link in the email from [formspree.io](//formspree.io/)

6. You're done. Happy mailing!

### Nearly finished

In order to see your site in action, run Hugo's built-in local server. 

    $ hugo server

Now enter [`localhost:1313`](http://localhost:1313/) in the address bar of your browser.
