## Quick start

## Updating
Feel free to *star* the project on [Github](https://github.com/gcushen/hugo-academic/) to help keep track of updates and check out the [release notes](https://sourcethemes.com/academic/updates) prior to updating your site.
Before updating the framework, it is recommended to make a backup of your entire website directory (or at least your `themes/academic` directory) and record your current version number.
By default, Academic is installed as a Git submodule which can be updated by running the following command:
```bash
git submodule update --remote --merge
