If you'd like to preview what your Quartz site looks like before deploying it to the internet, the following
 | 
						|
instructions guide you through installing the proper dependencies to run it locally.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Install `hugo-obsidian`
 | 
						|
This step will generate the list of backlinks for Hugo to parse. Ensure you have [Go](https://golang.org/doc/install) (>= 1.16) installed.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```bash
 | 
						|
# Install and link `hugo-obsidian` locally
 | 
						|
go install github.com/jackyzha0/hugo-obsidian@latest
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
If you are running into an error saying that `command not found: hugo-obsidian`, make sure you set your `GOPATH` correctly (see [[notes/troubleshooting#`command not found: hugo-obsidian`|the troubleshooting page]])! This will allow your terminal to correctly recognize hugo-obsidian as an executable.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
##  Installing Hugo
 | 
						|
Hugo is the static site generator that powers Quartz. [Install Hugo with "extended" Sass/SCSS version](https://gohugo.io/getting-started/installing/) first. Then,
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```bash
 | 
						|
# Navigate to your local Quartz folder
 | 
						|
cd <location-of-your-local-quartz>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
# Start local server
 | 
						|
make serve
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
# View your site in a browser at http://localhost:1313/
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
> [!INFO] Docker Support
 | 
						|
>
 | 
						|
> If you have the Docker CLI installed already, you can avoid installing `hugo-obsidian` and `hugo`. Instead, open your terminal, navigate to your folder with Quartz and run `make docker`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Afterwards, start the Hugo server as shown above and your local backlinks and interactive graph should be populated! Now, let's get it hosted online.
