Hacking #

Install the gohugo static site generator then:

$git clone https://github.com/VisualComputing/vc
$cd vc
$git submodule update --init --recursive
$hugo server -D --disableFastRender

Deploy with $git push after redefined baseURL in config.toml which should point to your actual public remote.

The vc template uses the hugo-book theme by default. Check the hugo themes site if you wish to add other ones.
