Run Hugo on an Android phone

Raw

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 -

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 !
