ScopeFoundry website in Hugo

Built off of the Docsy example template

Prerequisites

The following are basic prerequisites for using Docsy taken from the official Docsy repo:

• Install a recent release of the Hugo "extended" version. If you install from the Hugo release page, make sure you download the extended version, which supports SCSS.

• Install PostCSS so that the site build can create the final CSS assets. You can install it locally by running the following commands from the root directory of your project:

  npm install --save-dev autoprefixer
  npm install --save-dev postcss-cli

  Starting in version 8 of postcss-cli, you must also separately install postcss:

  npm install -D postcss

Any additional prerequisites depend on the installation option you choose. We recommend using Docsy as a Hugo module, which requires that you have the Go language installed in addition to Hugo and PostCSS.

For complete prerequisites and instructions, see our Get started guides.

Running the website locally

Once you've made your working copy of the site repo, from the repo root folder, run:

hugo server

Troubleshooting

As you run the website locally, you may run into the following error:

$ hugo server
