Immediately above that it has a big button that says "Download", which takes you here (https://github.com/spf13/hugo/releases). Above the `brew install hugo` part, it asks "Using Homebrew?", implying that option is for people already using that tool.
I definitely agree that less complexity is better, but I think levelling that complaint against (this part of) Hugo is unfair.

Hugo is a static site generator much more fully featured than Void, so IMO its not fair to compare on LOC. As far as brew goes, that is just for convenience. You can might as well download the static binary from the releases page - https://github.com/spf13/hugo/releases

I believe the CMS should build on your local machine and then be pushed to your hosting after it builds the static files. Like Jekyl. That's how I'm reading it, and brew references Homebrew, an OSX package manager.
The point of Void is minimalism: apache+php, nothing else required. < 100 lines of code in a single php file (+ the markdown parser lib of course).
