Requirements

Hugo 0.51+ required. Run make hugo for extended build, or visit Install Hugo for official steps.

Installation

The easiest installation method is to run the quick install script:

wget -qO- https://codeberg.org/vhs/after-dark/raw/branch/trunk/bin/install | sh

Quick Install will ensure the machine is running a supported Hugo version, download the latest signed after-dark release, download the latest signed fractal-forest, and configure a sample After Dark site with welcome post.

By convention After Dark may also be installed as a Hugo Theme Component:

flying-toasters
├── static
└── themes
    └── after-dark # git clone or submodule

Usage

Run the online help server after installing for After Dark usage instructions:

./themes/after-dark/bin/help

Also visit the Hugo docs, the Hugo community forum and Stack Overflow.

Upgrading

Run the Upgrade Script to check for updates and upgrade automatically:

./themes/after-dark/bin/upgrade

Upgrading replaces the file contents of the theme as a whole for security reasons. If you wish to modify the source please create a fork.

Verifying

Use the Release Validator from https://localhost:1414/validate/ while the online help server is running to verify you're running a PGP-signed and SHA-verified release. Integrity is checked at the source level and may be performed offline. See Release Hashes to learn more.
