1 Getting started

1.1 Installation

First you’ll need to install the blogdown package:

install.packages("blogdown")

Then use blogdown to install the static site generator Hugo:

blogdown::install_hugo()

1.2 Installing JabRef

If you are going to link academic publications on your website you will probably find it useful to have JabRef installed to create the necessary files you need.

JabRef is an open source bibliography reference manager.

This is not the only way to do things, but it’s what I’m familiar with and is free.

See the publications section for the full details.

1.3 Other files

If you want to build Bibi the Cat’s website you’ll need these files.
