Install Jekyll in WLS2

First let's update everything I am running all commands as sudo but you run with the level you want

sudo apt-get update -y && sudo apt-get upgrade -y

Now let's install Ruby

sudo apt install ruby

Check if Ruby was installed

ruby -v

Update your gems

sudo gem update

Install bundler

sudo gem install bundler

And install some dependencies like ruby-dev

sudo apt-get install ruby-dev build-essential dh-autoreconf

And finally install Jekyll

If you get a version back, all is good Now if you want to create a new blog you can run
