You need to use a specific (extended) hugo version, and that should enable you to build the site. Please follow the workflow outlined in our CI here and here. Here's the relevant snippet:

PYTHON_VERSION = "3.13"
HUGO_VERSION = "0.141.0"
DART_SASS_VERSION = "1.83.4"

Thank you, @melissawm, for your guidance!
@boopalan-s Were you able to set up a hugo server on your local machine? Feel free to share your thoughts on how we could improve the documentation for setting up a local development environment for numpy.org.

I got an help form here to resolve this issue ,but on there the conversation is not tin english https://forums.tamillinuxcommunity.org/t/problem-in-using-hugo-static-site-generators/3007

@boopalan-s Great to hear that you were able to resolve the issue!
After taking a closer look at the error messages you shared it looks like the issue was with permissions in the Sass binary on your local machine. There are ways to resolve this issue without switching to a different operating system, but it falls outside the scope of the numpy.org documentation. I will go ahead and close this issue now.
