Official documentation won't build

I can’t read online documentation at home so I need to build it in order to read it offline, but Hugo throws several errors.

I’m on ArchLinux 64bits.

hugo version
Hugo Static Site Generator v0.18.1 BuildDate: 2016-12-30T05:02:43-05:00

  1. Your main problem is a versioning issue, try https://github.com/spf13/hugo/tree/release-docs
  2. If you don’t have Git installed, you may get rid of the Git errors by hugo --enableGitInfo=false
