I believe this might be a problem with deprecated dependencies. I will look into it in the next few days. Until then, I will keep the issue open. Thank you @m4sterbunny for reporting this.

Hello @m4sterbunny, I have tried to install the theme from scratch in a fresh Hugo site and it works as expected. Some dependencies may not be update but at least for me it is not a problem. Have you sure to have followed every step in the readme? Are there any errors that you can provide me? Both in the terminal and in the log console? TYSM.

I will run through again @jacksalici and screenshot my journey

Perhaps I need Go or something else that you have day-to-day and no longer think about?

[m4sterbunny]

If there is anything else I can show to assist, pls holler!

[jacksalici]

Sorry, It's a very busy period for me. Thank you very much for the detailed information, as soon as possibile I will work to solve it.

[m4sterbunny]

Would it help if I made you a VM to have a "from scratch" experience with?

[jacksalici]

I will use the christmas holidays to solve this issue and publish and update 💪
