Hugo Fresh Install Checklist
Posted: Sun Dec 08, 2019 12:32 am
Keeping with the theme of TDarcos wanting to make Hugo more approachable to new developers through understanding, I think we should have some sort of list for fresh installs with "optional" notes. MacOS setup IMO is kind of a shitshow for development due to Wine not working last I checked. At any rate, let's get get started with some basics for Windows and Linux..
For the purpose of my project and maybe others, these are my priorities:
1. Newest hugo code compiler
2. RoodyLib as well as Roody's version of Notepad++ (Or an Atom port of it?)
3. Newest version of Hugor (I was waaaay behind I found out after installing MacOS Catalina)
4. Setting up paths to resources (music, images) quickly.
5. Being able to save my source code with associated libs quickly as dated, backed up files. I need the same for media but not even half as often.
With #2 I think Paul mentioned he uses Atom which is also my preferred text editor for work but I don't have syntax files for hugo in it. On #5 I've generally handled this myself by saving source folder to Dropbox and resources as I add them, but we need to make it clear how that is done or simplify it more. Paul is already using Github to make sure he's not saving shit tarballs via Atom. Perhaps we should start our own repository with everyone who is here who works in Hugo? I'd just like to have a discussion on this.
