New user here. I have tried to follow the instructions in [Quick Start | Hugo](https://gohugo.io/getting-started/quick-start/) and have not succeeded.
Here’s my command history:
```auto
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:
```auto

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.
