There are many ways to install Hugo. The best thing about Hugo is that installing is/can be very simple. It basically all comes down to the same thing: On Windows you should download the Windows version (tar.gz), uninstall it in your project folder and run ‘hugo server’ from the command line. On a Mac you should download the MacOS version (tar.gz), uninstall it in your project folder and run ‘hugo server’ from the command line.
