Hello,

I would like to do a simple website, I thought of trying a Static Site Generator.

I installed Hugo from the repo, but the version is very old. I tried to install the newest version but found it difficult or I had to trust too many things I do not know about.

Anyone uses Hugo? Do you use the repo version or a newer one? If you use a newer one, how did you install it?

Otherwise, any recommendation/preference on any other Static Site Generator will be appreciated.

By the way, I understand that websites created with Static Site Generators will not include any JavaScript or any other script, will they?

Cheers!

Not necessary. They are called ‘static sites’ for lacking _server_-side user-installable programs, client-side ones might be present.

Ok, I understand, thanks!

I would like to do a website. I would like to use a static site generator. I would like my website to have no client-side script.

Any recommendation?

I like Guile Scheme and the software made with such language to make
websites, that is: either Haunt or GNU Artanis. The first is more for
blogs but easier to use, while the second is more general and somewhat
difficult to master. However, most people seem to like PHP in the
country where I live.

"but the version is very old"

And? It still performs its function of generating websites.

Ok, I'll keep this one. Thank you.

That takes me to another question. I was thinking of security updates... Who is in charge of updating programs in the repository of a distro? How does it work for Trisquel?

There must be something already explained in this forum, but could not find it.
