Installing Chocolatey for Windows users
To help our Window friends install Chocolatey first, this seems too tempting right now, but it is effortless.
To install, press Super, type powershell, then run as “Administrator” and paste the following command.
Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force; [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol -bor 3072; iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://community.chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))
Press enter. After this you have chocolatey.
Installing Git
Now we have a very powerfull package (yes, it is windows) choco. So installing Git is just single command. Open powershell with administrative privilage, type
choco install git.install
Finally, Check whether Git is installed Successfully or not? Pass the command
git --version
# Output
# git version 2.42.0
Installing and Setting Up gh-cli
To start with, first install the GitHub Command Line Interface (gh-cli). Now let’s install gh-cli in one command with
choco install gh
to test the installation type
gh --version
# Output
# gh version 2.36.0 (2023-10-04)
# https://github.com/cli/cli/releases/tag/v2.36.0
As the installation looks good now, let’s log in to your GitHub account with,
gh auth login
And then follow the instructions (make sure you are logged in to your GitHub account in your favourite browser).
Installing HUGO
Now you all can guess the command for installing HUGO (but run in administrative powershell),
choco install hugo-extended
