All,

I just want to setup a simple hugo site, but it seems not possible. I’m using hugo version 0.15+git20160206.203.ed23711-1 from ubuntu xenial xerus repository and the “hugo-starter” theme from [hugo themes](https://github.com/spf13/hugoThemes).

Now there are errors like

- incomplete theme
- error while rendering taxonomy terms
- function … not defined (template.go) and so on

Should I install hugo from github? Is the ubuntu version too old? Are there any simple themes that are working with the old ubuntu version?

0.40.1-1 from Bionic Beaver renders the headings.

Hi there,

`0.15` (and even `0.40`) is quite old for Hugo, which is currently at [`0.64.1`](https://discourse.gohugo.io/t/hugo-0-64-1-released/23356).

Have a read [here](https://gohugo.io/getting-started/installing/) for instructions on how to install Hugo.

Ok, installed the most recent version and the soho theme is working fine now.
