Package managers

Snap

Snap is a free and open-source package manager for Linux. Available for most distributions, snap packages are simple to install and are automatically updated.

The Hugo snap package is strictly confined. Strictly confined snaps run in complete isolation, up to a minimal access level that's deemed always safe. The sites you create and build must be located within your home directory, or on removable media.

To install the extended edition of Hugo:

sudo snap install hugo

To control automatic updates:

# disable automatic updates
sudo snap refresh --hold hugo

# enable automatic updates
sudo snap refresh --unhold hugo

To control access to removable media:

# allow access
sudo snap connect hugo:removable-media

# revoke access
sudo snap disconnect hugo:removable-media

To control access to SSH keys:

# allow access
sudo snap connect hugo:ssh-keys

# revoke access
sudo snap disconnect hugo:ssh-keys

Repository packages

Most Linux distributions maintain a repository for commonly installed applications.

[!note] The Hugo version available in package repositories varies based on Linux distribution and release, and in some cases will not be the latest version.

Use one of the other installation methods if your package repository does not provide the desired version.
