Hugo!

Hugo is quite possibly the easiest software to install you’ve ever used: simply download and run! ** Hugo doesn’t depend on administrative privileges, databases, runtimes, interpreters or external libraries. ** Sites built with Hugo can be deployed on S3, GitHub Pages, Dropbox or any web host.
