# Debian/Ubuntu
wget https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/releases/download/v0.164.0/hugo_extended_0.164.0_linux-amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i hugo_extended_0.164.0_linux-amd64.deb

# Windows: download from https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/releases/tag/v0.164.0

# Verify
hugo version
# Should show: hugo v0.164.0+extended linux/amd64
