## Install this template by following those simple steps:
### STEP-1 : Hugo installation
Check this link below for install hugo on your computer.
[hugo install documentation](https://gohugo.io/getting-started/installing/)
### STEP-2 : Create your project
Hugo provides a `new` command to create a new website.
```
hugo new site <new_project>
```
### STEP-3 : Install the theme
Run this command
```
hugo new site meghna-hugo
```
and then go to the themes folder inside of meghna-hugo folder. You can also use this command ```cd meghna-hugo/themes``` for going to this folder.
Then run the command
```
git clone git@github.com:themefisher/meghna-hugo.git
```
Alternatively, you can [download the theme as .zip](https://github.com/themefisher/meghna-hugo/archive/master.zip) file and extract it in the `themes` directory
After that you need to go to the `meghna-hugo/exampleSite` folder and copy or cut all the elements, and now go back to the root folder and paste it here.
open the command prompt again and run `cd ../` command for go back to the root folder.
### STEP-4 : Host locally
Launching the website locally by using the following command:
```
hugo serve
```
Go to `http://localhost:1313`
Or you can check this video documentation for installing this template:
{{< youtube 3O3qvDoVp5g >}}
### STEP-5 : Basic configuration
When building the website, you can set a theme by using `--theme` option. However, we suggest you modify the configuration file (`config.toml`) and set the theme as the default.
```toml
# Change the default theme to be use when building the site with Hugo
theme = "meghna-hugo"
```
### STEP-6 : Create your first content pages
```
hugo new blog/post-name.md
```
### STEP-7 : Build the website
When your site is ready to deploy, run the following command:
```
hugo
# You can also create a minified version by using this command:
hugo--minify
```
A `public` folder will be generated, containing all static content and assets for your website. It can now be deployed on any web server.

<p><b>Problem</b></p>
<p>
Hughes sells mobile satellite terminals that provide internet and phone service to customers. Some customers who purchased terminals in bulk (~1000) required non-default settings. The configuration process of manually changing settings on each terminal was tedious and error-prone.
</p>
<p><b>Task</b></p>
<p>
My job was to develop a Windows 7 / 10 program that would automate the terminal configuration process.
</p>
<p><b>Result</b></p>
<p>
I designed and developed a GUI program in C# that detects which terminal model is connected and uses the available interface (<abbr title="REpresentational State Transfer">REST</abbr> <abbr title="Application Programming Interface">API</abbr> or <abbr title="File Transfer Protocol">FTP</abbr>) to copy the configuration of the <i>master</i> terminal. This can then be used to automatically configure subsequent terminals.

<p><b>Problem</b></p>
<p>
Hughes mobile terminals allow customers to have internet and phone access in remote areas via a satellite connection. Some customers may find value in a GPS feature built into the terminal. In this situation, the terminal would send GPS coordinates to a server at regular intervals of time, distance, and/or velocity as configured by the end-user.
</p>
<p><b>Task</b></p>
<p>
My task was to investigate a way to minimize the data packet size of GPS coordinates and to update the terminal's software to send these data packets to a server configured by the end-user.
</p>
<p><b>Result</b></p>
<p>
This project was assigned to me after the completion of my previous project, which was intended to last the entire internship. I was able to determine that <a href="http://www.mqtt.org/new/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/MQTT-SN_spec_v1.2.pdf" target="_blank"><abbr title="MQ Telemetry Transport for Sensor Networks">MQTT-SN</abbr></a> was a good option as it simply sends a data packet to a server without checking for acknowledgement and the packet header is sufficiently small. I successfully implemented the packet structure and delivery to the server on the terminal software written in C. However, I was unable to get the server to recognize that it received the packet in my remaining time at Hughes. Using <a href="https://www.wireshark.org" target="_blank">Wireshark</a>, I confirmed the reception of the packet, but none of the open-source <a href="http://www.mqtt.org/new/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/MQTT-SN_spec_v1.2.pdf" target="_blank"><abbr title="MQ Telemetry Transport for Sensor Networks">MQTT-SN</abbr></a> brokers I used worked.
