Installation options

[!NOTE] You have to run npm install hugo-bin-extended to reinstall hugo-bin-extended itself if you change any of these options.

hugo-bin-extended supports options to change the variation of Hugo binaries, to overwrite the download repository and the Hugo version.

Each option can be configured in one of the following ways:

The hugo-bin-extended section of your package.json

{
  "name": "your-package",
  "version": "0.0.1",
  "hugo-bin-extended": {
    "downloadRepo": "https://some.example.com/artifactory/github-releases",
    "version": "0.124.1"
  }
}

As local or global .npmrc configuration file

hugo_bin_download_repo = "https://some.example.com/artifactory/github-releases"
hugo_bin_hugo_version = "0.124.1"

As environment variables

On Linux/macOS:

export HUGO_BIN_DOWNLOAD_REPO="https://some.example.com/artifactory/github-releases"
export HUGO_BIN_HUGO_VERSION="0.124.1"

On Windows:

set HUGO_BIN_DOWNLOAD_REPO=https://some.example.com/artifactory/github-releases
set HUGO_BIN_HUGO_VERSION=0.124.1

Options

buildTags

• Type: string
• Default: ""

Set buildTags to extended to download the extended version binary.

If this is set to extended but it's not available for the user's platform, then the normal version will be downloaded instead.

downloadRepo

• Type: string
• Default: "https://github.com"

Set it to your proxy URL to download the hugo binary from a different download repository.

hugoVersion

• Type: string
• Default: the version specified in package.json

You can override the Hugo version here. Please note that if any of the URLs have changed upstream, you might not be able to use any version and you will probably need to update to a newer hugo-bin-extended version which takes into consideration the new URLs.
