Run Hugo on an Android phone

hugo-on-android.md

First install Termux

Then there are two options:

Build from source

Open the Termux terminal on your Android device and copy-and-paste the commands listed below and hit ENTER:

apt update;\
apt install -y git golang make;\
export GOPATH=$HOME/go;\
export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin;\
go get -d github.com/spf13/hugo;\
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/spf13/hugo;\
make install;\
hugo server -s docs;

Now you can point a browser at http://localhost:1313 and you should see the Hugo site with docs and all.

Use a prebuilt release binary

apt update;\
apt install curl;\
curl -L https://github.com/spf13/hugo/releases/download/v0.20/hugo_0.20_Linux_ARM.tar.gz | tar zxf -

Users installing from the prebuilt ARM binary may want to mv hugo ../usr/bin after installation to make the binary available on path.

Where can I find a tutorial?

ln -s hugo /usr/bin/hugo would probably be better

I just tried to install hugo on android. It was pretty simple.

Here is how it can be done :

• Install termux app
• Update packages using pkg upgrade command
• Then type pkg install hugo
• You are all set
• Type hugo new site <sitename> to create your site directory
• cd <sitename>
• git init
• git submodule add <hugo-git-theme-link> themes/<theme-name>
• Then run
  hugo server
• open http://localhost:1313/

Hurray !
