## Requirements

If you need an example source code, use the [Hugo Profile theme](https://github.com/gurusabarish/hugo-profile) example, you'll need [git](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-Installing-Git):

```bash
git clone https://github.com/gurusabarish/hugo-profile/

# Just keep exampleSite directory content to deploy the Hugo website
mv hugo-profile/exampleSite myStaticApp && rm -rf hugo-profile
```

{{% content "static-create" %}}

Import the theme as a submodule:

```bash
git submodule add https://github.com/gurusabarish/hugo-profile.git themes/hugo-profile
```

### Automatic build

Hugo is one of the many Static Site Generator (SSG) that [Clever Cloud automatic build](/doc/applications/static/#static-site-generators-ssg-auto-build) supports in the `static` runtime, you don't have anything special to manage. To use a pico instance with a dedicated build instance change it in the [Console](https://console.clever-cloud.com) or with Clever Tools:

```bash
clever scale --flavor pico

# To select a bigger build instance, use:
clever scale --build-flavor M
```
