Install instructions for Mac unclear/not up-to-date

As for installing the custom build of hugo, the RM refers to the Hugo homepage. For Mac, there is only information how to install hugo via homebrew, it is absolutely unclear (at least to me) how to install the custom build downloaded from

https://app.camunda.com/nexus/content/repositories/public/hugo/

Please update the RM to include actionable installation instructions. 🙏

You do not need custom hugo build for the blog, AFIK

Yeah I know, I will only create an .md file for now, in the long run it would be cool to have a local preview, and as far as I understand hugo is needed for that?

Try using the darwin build located at https://app.camunda.com/nexus/content/repositories/public/hugo/.
For installation instructions, check here: https://gohugo.io/getting-started/installing/#macos

Is this helpful?

Cheers

Hi @franzheidl ,
I can try to help you, if you want. just approach me.

Thanks everyone, things are clearing up on my end, so I understand I don’t need the custom build, standard build should work fine. I'll have a go and get back if I don’t succeed.

RM should be updated anyway 🤓

Ok, seems the blog is NOT working with the current standard version of hugo (v0.29), error:

I could not find any sensible info on how to install an older version og hugo (seems to work fine with v0.16,) on mac / with homebrew / without a degree in computer science, I’ll stop right here and concentrate on writing a blog post…

Thanks again everyone, peace out.

On my computer (Windows 10) only the Hugo build that is linked in the README of the repo works. Normal Hugo doesn't work with the blog.

Sigh…

Ok, the blog theoretically works with the standard version of hugo, although it fails when trying to use the most current version (v0.29). v0.16 works fine, but, at least on the Mac, it is super obscure how to install and older version using homebrew (it took me longer to get the blog running than to write the actual blog post 😱).

I have created an issue to update the blog to use the most current (standard) version of hugo: #37

However, in the meantime it would be good if the RM reflected the current situation, and I shall be happy to update the ReadMe, but since I do not know enough I wanted to double-check first that this is correct:

blog.camunda.org does work with standard hugo v0.16
As a workaround, one can get blog.camunda.org to work with v0.29 if

blog.camunda.org/theme-src/layouts/partials/header.html

Line 17 in d1907ae

{{ if .RSSlink }}<link href="{{ .RSSlink }}" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="{{ .Title }}" />{{ end }}

is commented out locally (but not committed!)

I hope this is correct? if yes, I'll update the RM.

blog.camunda.org does work with standard hugo v0.16

AFIK this is true
