Starting a blog with Hugo

I’m starting this blog using Hugo.

My first attempt was to use Jekyll, in particular because then it’s easy to host for free on GitHub.

But to use Jekyll the way its instructions wanted me to, I had to install Ruby and then Jekyll. The example commands in the Jekyll instructions mostly failed due to wanting to write to system directories, yet everything I read online about Ruby installations said “NEVER USE SUDO”. After 30 minutes, I gave up.
