Quick Start

Note: This tutorial assumes that you are using Hugo for the first time . Hugo is one of the most popular open-source static site generators. You can check the Hugo Official Docs for more help.

1. Install Hugo

Download the appropriate version for your platform from Hugo Releases. Once downloaded, the binary can be run from anywhere. Ideally, you should install it somewhere in your PATH for easy use. /usr/local/bin is the most probable location.

2. Create a New Site 

hugo new site myBlog

The above will create a new Hugo site in a folder named myBlog.

3. Use Hugo-Theme-Jane

Clone this repository into themes folder:

cd myBlog
git clone https://github.com/xianmin/hugo-theme-jane.git --depth=1 themes/jane

Copy the example site content:

cp -r themes/jane/exampleSite/content ./

Copy the default site config:

cp themes/jane/exampleSite/config.toml ./

Take a look at the example site:

hugo server

Open http://localhost:1313/ , you will see your site running with the example content.

4. Start a Blog

The default config file config.toml is located in your site root directory. You can customize it to match the details of your site. Documentation about configuring Hugo can be found in the Official Documentation

The default content files are located in the ./content/post directory.

5. Generate Your Website

Run hugo , this generates your website to the public/ directory by default.

Nice work!

If you have extra time or want to know more about Hugo , check out the awesome Hugo Official Docs .

Site Configuration

Take a look in the exampleSite folder.

This directory contains an example config file and the content for the demo. It serves as an example setup for you to configure to your liking.

Copy the config.toml to the root directory of your website. Overwrite the existing config file if necessary.

Single Post Configuration

Front Matter : Hugo allows you to add front matter in yaml, toml, or json to your content files.

Multilingual (Language) Support

Hugo-Theme-Jane supports the creation of websites with multiple languages side by side.

You should define the available languages in a languages section in your site configuration.

Translations are collected from the i18n/ folder.

To use the translations:

# use Chinese translation
defaultContentLanguage = "zh-cn"  # Default language to use (if you set up multilingual support)
[Languages.zh-cn]
  languageCode = "zh-cn"

To use the Multilingual Mode, see Multilingual Mode | Hugo .
