Before starting, please be sure that you have installed Hugo and created a new site. After that, you are ready to install Mainroad.
From your project's root directory, run:
git clone https://github.com/vimux/mainroad.git themes/mainroad
Or, if you don't plan to make any significant changes but want to track and update the theme, you can add it as a git submodule via the following command:
git submodule add https://github.com/vimux/mainroad.git themes/mainroad
Next, open config.toml in the base of the Hugo site and ensure the theme option is set to mainroad:
