you will need a crossover cable to do it. Just plug it in

You will need a crossover cable to connect hubs that have no uplink ports. However if the hubs have uplink ports you can get away with using a normal CAT5 ethernet cable. Some of the larger TP-Link hubs are usually designed so that every port on the hub can act as an uplink port!

Assuming Ethernet, the maximum distance is 100 meters, so you could theoretically do it with 2 hubs (switches).
The common topology in use today is the STAR. Hubs or switches are used to connect computers together like a "HUB". Switches are faster and better than a hub. Hubs, switches or servers are connected between each other by a "uplink" port that is specifically used to connect these devices together. There are 4,12,24,48,or 96 port hubs that can be purchased. Two hubs connected together with 96 ports would be able to serve 192 computers together. The possibilities are endless.

An HDMI cable is not designed to connect two computers together.
Simplest way is to connect with a cross cable

A cross-over cable is used to connect two computers together without the use of a connecting device, such as a switch or hub. When daisy-chaining hubs and switches, some older equipment has a special port called the up-link port. This port requires the use of a cross-over cable to add hubs to hubs, etc.
Only if a hub has auto sensing ports. With auto sensing it will detect the upload cable and will make a crossover internally.
