Yeay, welcome to Jekyll!!.
This is what I did today to serve you this blog.
In my machine, Ubuntu 14.04, the latest ruby I found is ruby1.9.1. You need ruby2.0 or later to install jekyll. So I decided to install rvm. Keep away from sudo. Yeay.
$ gpg --keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 409B6B1796C275462A1703113804BB82D39DC0E3
$ \curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable
You need to run this to execute gvm from anywhere
$ source /home/yourhome/.rvm/scripts/rvm
Install all requirements to install ruby
$ rvm requirements
Show all available ruby package
$ rvm list known
I choose ruby2.2, so just run
$ rvm install 2.2
$ gem install jekyll
If you want to linked up to your github page, create a repository, clone it, and change directory to your cloned repository.
$ git clone [email protected]:yourusername/yourrepo.git
$ cd yourrepo
Create a new jekyll site. Use --force in case your directory is not empty.
$ jekyll new . --force
$ jekyll serve
That’s it. Move to your browser and open localhost:4000. Happy Blogging!
