Apologies for the vague title, but I am really lost about what is going wrong with the deployment of my site. I have not really made any major change to the site, but after building the site with hugo from a .gitlab-ci.yml script, I get the following, it seems that all errors come from the same file baseof.html. But I am not sure how to proceed at this point.

$ hugo
Start building sites … 
hugo v0.125.7+extended linux/amd64 BuildDate=unknown

This error happens when running hugo from a .gitlab-ci.yml script, and can also be reproduced with blogdown::build_site() in R.

In case it helps, I paste below the baseof.html file:

A compatible version of Hugo is required. In this case, you have upgraded to a higher version of Hugo than is compatible with your template. Downgrade to a lower version of Hugo, such as the version specified in your netlify.toml and it should run fine.

Here are some links to sites that provided me with some assistance on installing older versions of Hugo:

This page is concerned with Windows installation, but Mac instructions are also available in the left sidebar:
