## Installation
**1. Install Hugo**
To use this theme you will first need to have Hugo installed. Please follow the official [installation guide](https://gohugo.io/getting-started/installing/)
> ⚠️ **Note:** Check your Hugo version - **Hugo Extended** is required!
This theme uses [Hugo Pipes](https://gohugo.io/hugo-pipes/scss-sass/) to compile SCSS and minify assets which means if you are not using the Hugo extended version this theme will not work. To check your version of Hugo, run `hugo version`. Make sure you see **/extended** after the version number, for example _Hugo Static Site Generator v0.51/extended darwin/amd64 BuildDate: unknown_ You do not need to use version v0.51 specifically, it just needs to have the _/extended_ part.
**2. Create a new Hugo site**
This will create a fresh Hugo site in the folder `mynewsite`.
```
hugo new site mynewsite
```
**3. Install the theme**
Download or git clone this theme into the sites themes folder `mynewsite/themes`. You should end up with the following folder structure `mynewsite/themes/hugo-winston-theme`
```
cd mynewsite
git clone https://github.com/zerostaticthemes/hugo-winston-theme.git themes/hugo-winston-theme
```
**4. Copy the example content**
Copy the entire contents of the `mynewsite/themes/hugo-winston-theme/exampleSite/` folder to root folder of your Hugo site, ie `mynewsite/`. To copy the files using terminal, make sure you are still in the projects root, ie the `mynewsite` folder.
```
cp -a themes/hugo-winston-theme/exampleSite/. .
```
**6. Run Hugo**
After installing the theme for the first time, generate the Hugo site.
You run this command from the root folder of your Hugo site ie `mynewsite`
```
hugo
```
For local development run Hugo's built-in local server.
```
hugo server
```
Now enter [`localhost:1313`](http://localhost:1313) in the address bar of your browser.
# Localhost inside exampleSite
You can run this site without installing it as a hugo theme using the following command. I use this for theme development.
```
hugo server --source=exampleSite --theme=../..
```

# Deploying to Netlify
[](https://app.netlify.com/start/deploy?repository=https://github.com/zerostaticthemes/hugo-winston-theme)
This theme includes a `netlify.toml` which is [configured to deploy to Netlify](https://discourse.gohugo.io/t/deploy-your-theme-to-netlify/15508) from the `exampleSite` folder. If you have installed this theme into a new Hugo site and the exampleSite folder was copied or removed, you should delete the `netlify.toml` file.
