Setup

For normal lesson authoring in this template, you only need Hugo Extended. The shared module is vendored in _vendor/, so local builds do not require Go.

When Go is needed

Go is only needed if you maintain module updates locally (for example, running hugo mod tidy, hugo mod vendor, or the migration checker).

brew install hugo

hugo version

If you plan to update _vendor/ locally, install Go and verify with go version.

Next step

Once hugo version and hugo server work, return to Getting started and continue with step 2: update hugo.toml before replacing the sample content.
