Setup fails: "found no layout file for "HTML" for kind "home""

New user here. I have tried to follow the instructions in Quick Start | Hugo and have not succeeded.

Here’s my command history:

 2122  hugo new site quickstart
 2123  cd quickstart
 2124  git init
 2125  git submodule add https://github.com/theNewDynamic/gohugo-theme-ananke themes/ananke
 2126  echo "theme = 'ananke'" >> hugo.toml
 2127  hugo server

These were all copied and pasted from the above Quick Start page.

Hugo server output:

If I open http://localhost:1313/ it’s blank.

I’m using Linux Mint 21.1 Cinnamon and Google Chrome.

Yeah, I just figured that out, thanks. Ancient version in the Linux Mint repo.

I find the snap package to be easiest. It auto updates as well.
