Hi all,

I’ve been trying to install Hugo on my Ubuntu machine with apt install hugo. It didn’t find the package, so I downloaded both hugo_0.117.0_linux-amd64.deb and hugo_extended_0.117.0_linux-amd64.deb and tried to install with sudo apt install ./hugo_0.117.0_linux-amd64.deb and _extended_ respectively. But both also failed.

Lots of errors like below.

Where am I going wrong?

Thanks,
Christoph

It looks like you’re running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.

If true, Hugo wasn’t in the package repository 9 years ago.

I was able to install the standard edition without problems on a fully updated, virgin installation of Ubuntu 14.04 LTS:

$ sudo apt-get install curl
$ curl -LJO https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/releases/download/v0.117.0/hugo_0.117.0_linux-amd64.deb
$ sudo dpkg -i hugo_0.117.0_linux-amd64.deb
$ which hugo

/usr/local/bin/hugo

$ hugo version

hugo v0.117.0-b2f0696cad918fb61420a6aff173eb36662b406e linux/amd64 BuildDate=2023-08-07T12:49:48Z VendorInfo=gohugoio

I was not able to install the extended version in the same way due to some missing dependencies (no surprise given the OS age), and I didn’t spend any time trying to fix it.

I was able to install the extended version by building from source.
