Errors with theme 'hugo-blog-awesome'

Followed the git submodule installation steps at GitHub - hugo-sid/hugo-blog-awesome: Fast, minimal blog with dark mode support.
and Hugo’s quick start guide, localhost:1313 loads a blank page when trying to preview from the exampleSite with command, hugo server --themesDir ../..

a ton of warning errors with “home”, “page”, “section” etc, in this example its home
WARN 2024/11/01 01:03:09 found no layout file for "HTML" for kind "home": You should create a template file which matches Hugo Layouts Lookup Rules for this combination.

if i add theme = 'hugo-blog-awesome' to the root config.toml and run hugo server, i get
ERROR 2024/11/01 01:07:38 render of "taxonomy" failed: execute of template failed: template: _default/list.html:3:8: executing "_default/list.html" at <partial "head.html" .>: error calling partial: "/home/cesar/cesarsalinas.net/themes/hugo-blog-awesome/layouts/partials/head.html:31:76": execute of template failed: template: partials/head.html:31:76: executing "partials/head.html" at <resources>: can't evaluate field Copy in type interface {}

also the exampleSite directory has a hugo.toml and not config.toml, not too sure about this.

I tried copying over the hugo.toml and other files form the exampleSite directory to the root of my site and run into the same errors

is this theme just broken?

i ran both git clone and git submodule add starting from scratch

Additionally, I’m using the latest version of ZorinOS, installed latest versions of hugo and git.
hugo v0.92.2+extended linux/amd64 BuildDate=2023-01-31T11:11:57Z VendorInfo=ubuntu:0.92.2-1ubuntu0.1

Please recheck your Hugo version

Latest Hugo version is v0136.5.

  • unable to reproduce using v0136.5-extended
  • I can reproduce with v0.92.2-extended

cool thanks I will install the new version, and strange, i assumed i was on the latest version when i installed Hugo,
i updated all packages and still get an older version
