platform.
Hugo is written in GoLang with support for Windows, Linux and OSX.

Please make sure that you place the executable in your path. `/usr/local/bin`
is the most probable location.

Hugo doesn't have any external dependencies, but can benefit from external
programs.
## Installing from source
Make sure you have a recent version of go installed. Hugo requires go 1.1+.
