Guide

Follow this guide to setup hugo and create a new site. Make sure you install latest version of hugo(>=0.74.0).

After you have created a new site, at Step 3 follow the steps:

Inside the folder of your Hugo site, run:

git clone https://github.com/adityatelange/hugo-PaperMod themes/hugo-PaperMod --depth=1

Updating theme :

cd themes/hugo-PaperMod
git pull

or you can use as submodule with

git submodule add https://github.com/adityatelange/hugo-PaperMod.git themes/hugo-PaperMod
git submodule update --init --recursive

Updating theme with submodule :

git submodule update --remote --merge

Then change in config.yml:

theme: "hugo-PaperMod"
