Installing Hugo and Goorgeous

The other day, I wrote about blogging with Hugo and Org. Part of that post involved how Diego Mundo worked around the fact that Hugo expects its input in markdown so that he could write his posts in Org markup. Xuchunyang commented that as of version 0.19 Hugo also supports Org mode natively.

It turns out that the Org mode integration is handled by the goorgeous module. Over at A Scriptor’s Notes there’s a nice post on how to build Hugo and goorgeous from scratch. This may be attractive if you want to keep up to date with the rapidly evolving Hugo ecosystem. The post takes you through everything you need to do to install and build from source. You’ll need to install the Go tool chain, but you don’t need to know how to program in Go.

There’s also a complete build script so once you’ve done the initial install, all you have to do is run the script. It’s probably worth your while to investigate this post if you’re using Hugo to blog.
