Installation

Prerequisites

• Git - Latest stable version is recommended.
• Go - v1.17 or higher.
• Hugo - v0.92.0 or higher.

The version of the tools listed in the prerequisites above is based on the version of tools that was used when Basajan was made, but earlier version may also work fine.

Create your site

As you already know, Basajan theme is distributed as a Hugo Modules . So, we only provide installation guide with this method.
Of course you can use other methods, but we don’t recommend them.

You can also try Basajan first before integrating it with your Hugo site.

Pre-configured integration

We’ve created a starter template to make the installation process easier. Basically, this template is a Hugo site already integrated with the Basajan theme. So you just need to change the existing content or you can also add your own.

You can start by cloning the starter template repository to your machine.

git clone -b main --depth 1 --single-branch https://github.com/hapakaien/basajan-hugo-theme-starter.git your-site && cd your-site

If you use GitHub, you can also use the provided template feature .

Manual
