Prerequisites:
- Ruby.
- RubyGems.
- Ubuntu 14.04.
First, let’s install Ruby.
sudo apt-get install ruby ruby-dev make
We check the version of Ruby installed with the command.
ruby -v
To make sure everything works, you should obtain the following version of Ruby.
ruby 1.9.3p484 (2013-11-22 revision 43786) [x86_64-Linux]
A small workaround to fix the CoffeeScript gem… we need the g++ compiler…
sudo apt-get install g++
…and therubyracer:
sudo gem install therubyracer --no-rdoc --no-ri
We finally install Jekyll:
sudo gem install jekyll
We check the installed version of Jekyll with the command.
jekyll -v
You should get an output like this:
jekyll 2.0.3
Visit Jekyll docs for more information on how to get the most out of Jekyll.
You can find Jekyll on GitHub at Jekyll’s GitHub repo.
