Hi there, Newbie here. Trying to get started with HUGO on windows. I got as far as the “hugo server” command and got this message: PS C:\WINDOWS\system32\quickstart> hugo server Error: “C:\WINDOWS\system32\quickstart\config.toml:4:2”: unmarshal failed: toml: expected character = Any thoughts on…

I think your syntax is wrong for the theme. It should be ... previous lines theme = "ananke" ... next lines Try to edit your config.toml file.

@divinerites is correct. Look at the Quick Start guide: https://gohugo.io/getting-started/quick-start/#create-a-site [image] You used Windows PowerShell. Don’t do that.

Yeah i did see that but the link provided in the guide took me to windows powershell installation. Do you have a link for powershell installation?

[image] gustamove: the link provided in the guide took me to windows powershell installation No, it didn’t. It brought you to a page titled “Installing PowerShell on Windows.” That’s different than “Installing Windows PowerShell.” Yeah, they have a product management issue.

Thanks for that clarification. This is my sticking point then. Every version i have tried to install from that link is windows powershell. Not sure what else to do.

Then you are doing something wrong. Just scroll down the page a bit, install the MSI, and in your start menu type “Powershell” [Screenshot 2023-01-01 104800] If you still have problems, just do what @divinerites described. Or, since you have installed Git for Windows, use Git Bash.

Thanks. Yeah I did that. When I tried to install it said a newer version was already installed. But when I search for it it isn’t there. [image] Cheers

Thanks for this. Can you please help me understand a bit more. I just copied and pasted the command. So I’m not sure how it’s wrong. And I don’t quite know what to do with this in terms of editing the command. [image] divinerites: ... previous lines theme = "ananke" ... next lines Sorry…

If you search for “power” it won’t be displayed. If you search for “powers” it will be displayed.
