Installing jekyll on Linux
I use jekyll on some of my projects to produce a static html web page, like this one. I can easily edit the source and have an OK looking frontend without doing much CSS work. I find myself googling a few things from the errors I get inside the terminal as I try to install jekyll and all the necessary components needed to serve my web page. Here is a condensed version of what needs to be installed to have your github page served locally.
sudo apt-get install ruby gem ruby-dev ruby-bundler zlib1g-dev nodejs
sudo gem install jekyll nokogiri
bundle install
Finally, in your github pages repo, you can now run bundle exec jekyll serve
