If you'd like to preview what your Quartz site looks like before deploying it to the internet, here's exactly how to do that!
## 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.
```shell
# Install and link `hugo-obsidian` locally
$ go install github.com/jackyzha0/hugo-obsidian
# Navigate to your local Quartz folder
$ cd <location-of-your-local-quartz>
# Scrape all links in your Quartz folder and generate info for Quartz
$ hugo-obsidian -input=content -output=data
```
Afterwards, start the Hugo server as shown above and your local backlinks and interactive graph should be populated!
## Installing Hugo
Hugo is the static site generator that powers Quartz. If you'd like to preview your site locally, [install Hugo](https://gohugo.io/getting-started/installing/).
```
# Navigate to your local Quartz folder
$ cd <location-of-your-local-quartz>
# Start local server
$ hugo server
# View your site in a browser at http://localhost:1313/
```
