support

I’m working through the Quick Start but when I get to looking at localhost::1313 the page is blank.

What might I have done incorrectly?

Should be

echo theme = \"ananake\" >>config.toml

From the output, the theme is not being applied, and the above would explain why.

To confirm, what is is the resulting config.toml you ended up with?

It should have

theme = "ananke"

not

theme = ananke

and if you omitted the backlashes you would end up with the latter.

Also, when posting code or output in the forums, please use ‘code blocks’.

That is before the code or output put ``` on a separate line, then the code or output, and then ``` on a separate line at the end.

Like this:

```
some code
```

Or echo "theme = 'ananke'" >> config.toml will work too.

Daniel,

I highlighted Step 3 and must have missed the second part:
echo theme = "ananke" >> config.toml

To confirm, what is is the resulting config.toml you ended up with?

baseURL = ‘http://example.org/’
languageCode = ‘en-us’
title = ‘My New Hugo Site’
theme = “ananke”

Entering the echo command fixes the problem.

Also, when posting code or output in the forums, please use ‘code blocks’.

Okay. I can do that in Alpine. Wasn’t aware of this.

Thanks for seeing my error,

Rich
