Hi, I’m a newbie and I have the latest version of Hugo 5.3 I’m following the HUGO quickstart tutorial, that is for beginners learning to use HUGO so I wouldn’t think there would be major problems! See: https://gohugo.io/getting-started/quick-start/ I’ve downloaded, extracted hallo-hugo-master i…

My github repository is FodorTheMagnificent / quickstart

The quick start instructions use the ananke theme, not hallo

Does the theme matter? I would think any theme should work with HUGO. Also I get the same problem with ananke. So its not the theme being the problem.

What OS are you using? I just did the quick start on Windows 10 with Hugo 0.53 and it worked fine.

@FodorTheMagnificent , sorry this topic went off like that. [image] zwbetz: What OS are you using? I just did the quick start on Windows 10 with Hugo 0.53 and it worked fine. @zwbetz ran through the quick start, so please provide some more info, and we’ll see if we can get you up and running…
