Install Hugo	72

You need to install Hugo if you want to replicate the ETL online documentation.

You need to install the extended version of Hugo on each platform:

The extended version includes support for Sass/SCSS compilation and WebP image processing, which is required by many Hugo themes.

Install Go

Hugo requires Go to support Hugo Modules.

Visit here to install the version applicable to your OS.

Linux
