Installing Jekyll

Jekyll requires Ruby, so you’ll first need to install it. On Ubuntu, just run:

Install Ruby

sudo apt-get install ruby-full build-essential zlib1g-dev

Ensure RubyGems packages are installed under the user account instead of root.

echo '# Install Ruby Gems to ~/gems' >> ~/.bashrc
echo 'export GEM_HOME="$HOME/gems"' >> ~/.bashrc
echo 'export PATH="$HOME/gems/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc

Install Jekyll and Bundler:

gem install jekyll bundler

Site Creation

From your Linux shell, navigate to your GitHub repository created earlier and run:

jekyll new .
gem update
rm Gemfile.lock
bundle update

Run Testserver and Access with http://localhost:4000

bundle exec jekyll serve --drafts --livereload
