Install requirements

You need a recent version of Hugo for local builds and previews of sites that use Geekblog. As we are using gulp as pre-processor the normal version of Hugo is sufficient. If you prefer the extended version of Hugo anyway this will work as well. For comprehensive Hugo documentation, see gohugo.io.

If you want to use the theme from a cloned branch instead of a release tarball you'll need to install gulp locally and run the default pipeline once to create all required assets.

# install required packages from package.json
npm install

# run gulp pipeline to build required assets
gulp default

Using the theme

To prepare your new site environment just a few steps are required:

Create a new empty Hugo site.
```
hugo new site demosite
```
Switch to the root of the new site.
```
cd demosite
```
Install the Geekblog theme from a release bundle (recommended) or form Git branch.

Create the minimal required Hugo configuration config.toml. For all configuration options see here.

baseURL = "http://localhost"
title = "Geekblog"
theme = "hugo-geekblog"

# Geekblog required configuration

pygmentsCodeFences = true

    permalinkable = false

[outputFormats.outputs]
  home = ["HTML", "ATOM"]
  page = ["HTML"]
  section = ["HTML"]
  taxonomy = ["HTML"]
  term = ["HTML", "ATOM"]

Test your site.
```
hugo server --theme geekblog -D
```

Option 1: Download pre-build release bundle

Download and extract the latest release bundle into the theme directory.

curl -L https://github.com/xoxys/hugo-geekblog/releases/latest/download/hugo-geekblog.tar.gz | tar -xz -C themes/hugo-geekblog/ --strip-components=1

Option 2: Clone the GitHub repository

{{< hint info >}} Info
Keep in mind this method is not recommended and needs some extra steps to get it working. If you want to use the Theme as submodule keep in mind that your build process need to run the described steps as well. {{< /hint >}}

Clone the Geekblog git repository.

git clone https://github.com/xoxys/hugo-geekblog.git themes/geekblog

Build required theme assets e.g. CSS files and SVG sprites with gulp.

gulp default
