To build the site locally or use the Hugo CLI, you need:

• The npm package manager. I suggest installing npm via nvm.

All remaining dependencies will be downloaded by executing

npm install

Note that the pre-built Hugo binary will be located at bin/hugo/hugo.

The website is currently structured around four pages.

• "Home" (location content/_index.md)
• "Team" (location content/team/_index.md)
• "Projects" (location content/projects/_index.md)
• "Publications" (location content/publications/_index.md)

The sites "Home", "Team", and "Publications" were designed to be stand-alone. Please only modify the respective _index.md file and do not add new posts.

The "Projects" website was designed to feature sub-posts. To create a new post (describing a project), run:

bin/hugo/hugo new content projects/NAME.md

Alternatively, if you don't want to use hugo, you can also simply create that new markdown file yourself and copy a header from one of the other files. Make sure to select a date that is sensible.

NAME will be the URL slug for the project, i.e., it will be hosted at /projects/NAME. Posts have two parts: a header (within the ---s) and the body (after the header).

There are three types of things you can put into a post's body:

• Markdown. This will be compiled to HTML. You probably know Markdown. Here is a cheatsheet.
• Raw HTML. Since Markdown is compiled to HTML, you can also include raw HTML directly. This can be sometimes beneficial, but is also risky. In general, it's better to write things in plain markdown.
• Shortcodes. This is a Hugo feature. Shortcodes are defined by the template used and give you more styling options. You can find a list of our template's shortcodes here.

You added a post, and it's not rendered on the homepage? Probably it's a draft still. Set draft: false in the post's header.

Before you can build the site, you need to run:

npm install

To preview you the site locally, then run:

npm run localhost
