Also attempted to run the docsy example site taken from master branch but received another error:

Unsure of what I'm doing wrong, here. At first I had installed hugo using dnf or yum but then read that I needed the extended version. Downloaded and installed the extended version without issue, but still failing to build the site.

Have you installed postcss? You need it to build the site assets the first time you run the build.

See our prereqs here: https://www.docsy.dev/docs/getting-started/#install-postcss

@dbiers I think there were similar issues here #235 and #242. By the way, @LisaFC thanks for your work on Docsy, this is awesome stuff.

I ran into a similar thing error message today and it turns out I didn't follow all the steps properly. I took some notes and just want to share them here, as some people may stumble upon this issue from time to time.

To avoid the Error building site: TOCSS... error when trying to build your site locally:

• Remember to be using the extended version of Hugo. See the list of Hugo releases.
• Don't forget to install PostCSS: $ sudo npm install -D --save autoprefixer and $ sudo npm install -D --save postcss-cli. (This is all in the official Prerequisites section.)
• After you use git clone or git submodule add to add the Docsy theme to your /themes folder, don't forget to get local copies of the theme’s own submodules (git submodule update --init --recursive). (See the official Using the Docsy site as a Submodule.)
• Remember to add the theme to config.toml by running $ echo 'theme = "docsy"' >> config.toml or simply add a new theme = "docsy" line to the TOML file.

Then try $ hugo server -D again.

Also, just like here in #270, it may help to upgrade Node.js to the latest version with the Node Package Manager (for example, by running $ sudo npm cache clean -f, $ sudo npm install -g n and $ sudo n stable).

This seems to be similar to #464, which you can resolve by upgrading Node. For details see, Install/Upgrade Node.js. I'll close this for now, if you still have the problem, please create a new issue.
