How do I remove it since it is not recognized as a directory? Thanks!
Usually you can delete files, like the binary, with rm /usr/local/bin/hugo. Itās possible that this directory is protected so that not every software, user etc. can install and remove software. If the permission is denied try sudo rm /usr/local/bin/hugo. This way you execute this command as admin. You might have to enter you password.
@digitalcraftsman Got it. Nothing there. Will try re-installing now.
@interglobalmedia @budparr @digitalcraftsman I should definitely add some content around this to the new docs. Iāve assigned this to myself:

Hi @rdwatters, @digitalcraftsman It is something that is not really covered in the documentation at all. I have been looking at other developersā workflows, but then they have situations and even sometimes environments that are different from my own. The other thing that I just submitted as an issue was the Tarball download issue for mac. I think there might be a bug in the Tarball. At least for me there seems to be one!
Thanks so much for your response @rdwatters and concern!
Best regards,
Maria

@rdwatters @digitalcraftsman someone had a very similar issue regarding upgrading Hugo some months back (11-2016). Here is the thread (it was never resolved): https://discuss.gohugo.io/t/probably-an-idiot-question-upgrade-to-0-17/4556
I have re-opened the discussion there. Thanks for your help!
@digitalcraftsman, you were right. I did have another install on my system. I must have tried out hugo ages ago and had installed it with Homebrew. I uninstalled that version and am now re-installing. Letās see if I get more than 0.18.1. Iāll let you know. In that case, I will have to tell that other guy how to uninstall and re-install in the other thread.
Homebrew is a great way to go.
@budparr depends. But in this case, it was successful. Also, I did some major clean up of my Mac regarding paths, and that might have helped homebrew performance. Of course upgrading to Sierra might have helped as well. @digitalcraftsman and @rdwatters thanks so much for your help! Especially @digitalcraftsman. It was truncate feature that was preventing the rendering of my siteās styles. Now that I have a version that is >= 0.19, it is working!!! Yay.
Note the change in appearance lol.

My pleasure, but I donāt deserve any credit here. That goes to the other guys. I second @budparr 's comment on ease of use with brew, especially now that you donāt need to run brew update first. Of course, you wonāt be getting the bleeding edge, but that might not be what you want anyway 
Glad it worked out!
Thanks @rdwatters! Just a question: what do you mean by ābleeding edgeā?
As in, if you install with homebrew youāll get the stable release by default rather than the newest dev branch.
@rdwatters Thatās what I thought, but I just wanted to make sure. For my purposes, stable is better! I could always choose to install another way at a later date if I wanted!
