Hugo Binary Install - Binary (Cross-platform)

Contents

Download the appropriate version for your platform from Hugo Releases.

Ideally, you should install it somewhere in your PATH for easy use. /usr/local/bin is the most probable location.

In my case is an ubuntu installation:

1

3
4
5
6
cd $HOME/Downloads && mkdir hugo-binary && cd hugo-binary
wget https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/releases/download/v0.92.0/hugo_extended_0.92.0_Linux-64bit.tar.gz
tar -xvf hugo_extended_0.92.0_Linux-64bit.tar.gz
sudo cp hugo /usr/local/bin
cd ../ && rm -rf hugo-binary/
hugo version

you should be able to see the version from the last command, in my case hugo v0.92.0-B3549403+extended linux/amd64 BuildDate=2022-01-12T08:23:18Z VendorInfo=gohugoio
