Hello. I am struggling with the quick start guide. I am running Manjaro OS and installed Hugo through Yaourt.

I progressed through the quick start tutorial and everything seemed fine until I started the server with hugo server -D, getting the following console output:

Going to [http://localhost:1313/](http://localhost:1313/) gives a new WARN:

> WARN 2019/01/08 13:50:10 Found no layout for “home”, language “en”, output format “HTML”: create a template below /layouts with one of these filenames: index.en.html.html, home.en.html.html, list.en.html.html, index.html.html, home.html.html, list.html.html, index.en.html, home.en.html, list.en.html, index.html, home.html, list.html, \_default/index.en.html.html, \_default/home.en.html.html, \_default/list.en.html.html, \_default/index.html.html, \_default/home.html.html, \_default/list.html.html, \_default/index.en.html, \_default/home.en.html, \_default/list.en.html, \_default/index.html, \_default/home.html, \_default/list.html

I’m not sure how to proceed as it’s looking for missing files in the prepared tutorial. Does this look familiar to anyone?

Many thanks for your time.

**EDIT**  
I have since repeated the quick start on windows 10 and gotten the same error.

Looks like the theme isn’t configured properly. What’s your `config.toml` look like?

The config.toml in /quickstart ? It reads:

> baseURL = “[http://example.org/](http://example.org/)”  
> languageCode = “en-us”  
> title = “My New Hugo Site”

You’re missing the theme line. So currently your Hugo site isn’t using a theme. Add this line:

```auto
theme = "ananke"

```

Ok that works. Thanks for your help. I think I overlooked that step as it appeared to be in a comment on a code fragment.
