Hugo installation and Setup

Windows (CLI Users)

  1. Visit the link Hugo Releases and download the latest release of hugo for Windows.
  2. Create a directory named Hugo where you want your program to be installed.
  3. Create a subdirectory bin and extract the contents of the downloaded file in that.
  4. For CLI users, navigate to the location of your hugo.exe file, then add hugo.exe to PATH using the command
set PATH=%PATH%...\Hugo\bin

where ... is the path to the Hugo directory.

Windows 10 (Non-CLI Users)

  1. Search and Open Advanced System Settings.
  2. Click on the Environment Variables… button on the bottom.
  3. In the User variables section, find the row that starts with PATH.
  4. Double-click on PATH.
  5. Click the New… button.
  6. Type in the folder where hugo.exe was extracted. The PATH entry should be the folder where Hugo lives and not the binary.

For Windows 7 and 8.x users:

Windows 7 and 8.1 do not include the easy path editor included in Windows 10, so non-technical users on those platforms are advised to install a free third-party path editor like Windows Environment Variables Editor or Path Editor.
