This article is a guide to help you create your own version of the site using Adritian. It will cover the main steps to get started with the theme, and how to customize it to your needs.

Creating a site

This theme is for the content management system Hugo, so that will be a pre-requirement. Make sure that you install the extended version of Hugo, as the theme uses SCSS for styling, as well as image optimization.

[module]
[module.hugoVersion]
# We use hugo.Deps to list dependencies, which was added in Hugo 0.92.0
min = "0.92.0"

[[module.imports]]
path="github.com/zetxek/adritian-free-hugo-theme"

## Base mounts - so your site's assets are available
  [[module.mounts]]
    source = "archetypes"
    target = "archetypes"

    source = "layouts" 
    target = "layouts"

  [[module.mounts]]
    source = "static"
    target = "static"

# The following mounts are required for the theme to be able to load bootstrap
# Remember also to copy the theme's `package.json` to your site, and run `npm install`

  1. Get the module: hugo mod get -u
  2. Execute hugo mod npm pack - this will generate a package.json file in the root folder of your site, with the dependencies for the theme.
  3. Execute npm install - this will install the dependencies for the theme (including bootstrap)
  4. (Optional, to override the defaults) Create a file data/homepage.yml with the contents of the exampleSite/data/homepage.yml file, and customize to your needs (note: this file is not included in your theme if you use hugo modules, download it manually from the repository)

Traditional Installation (as git submodule)

If you prefer not to use Hugo Modules, you can still install the theme as a git submodule. The guide is very similar to official “Quick Start”, just changing the theme URL in the git submodule add command:
