Note: This tutorial assumes that you are using Hugo for the first time . Hugo is one of the most popular open-source static site generators. You can check the Hugo Official Docs for more help.
Download the appropriate version for your platform from Hugo Releases. Once downloaded, the binary can be run from anywhere. Ideally, you should install it somewhere in your PATH
for easy use. /usr/local/bin
is the most probable location.
hugo new site myBlog
The above will create a new Hugo site in a folder named myBlog
.
Clone this repository into themes
folder:
cd myBlog
git clone https://github.com/xianmin/hugo-theme-jane.git --depth=1 themes/jane
Alternative, installation as a module
If you have Go installed you can install the theme as a hugo module, then there will be no need to clone it into the themes
folder:
hugo mod init example.com/my-blog
After that, you would need to use github.com/xianmin/hugo-theme-jane
as your theme
and not hugo-theme-jane
in your config.toml
file.
Copy the example site content:
cp -r themes/jane/exampleSite/content ./
Copy the default site config:
cp themes/jane/exampleSite/config.toml ./
Take a look at the example site:
hugo server
Open http://localhost:1313/ , you will see your site running with the example content.
The default config file config.toml
is located in your site root directory. You can customize it to match the details of your site. Documentation about configuring Hugo can be found in the Official Documentation
The default content files are located in the ./content/post
directory.
Run hugo
, this generates your website to the public/
directory by default.
Nice work!
If you have extra time or want to know more about Hugo , check out the awesome Hugo Official Docs .
Take a look in the exampleSite folder.
This directory contains an example config file and the content for the demo. It serves as an example setup for you to configure to your liking.
Copy the config.toml
to the root directory of your website. Overwrite the existing config file if necessary.
Front Matter : Hugo allows you to add front matter in yaml, toml, or json to your content files.

Hugo-Theme-Jane supports the creation of websites with multiple languages side by side.
You should define the available languages in a languages
section in your site configuration.
Translations are collected from the i18n/
folder.
To use the translations:
# use Chinese translation
defaultContentLanguage = "zh-cn" # Default language to use (if you set up multilingual support)
[Languages.zh-cn]
languageCode = "zh-cn"
To use the Multilingual Mode, see Multilingual Mode | Hugo .
