Docker image for the following steps can be found at: [TBA]
Do the required setup depending on the operating system you're running
Windows Setup
Install and configure WSL2 Follow the instructions found at: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install
Install Ubuntu in WSL2 Follow the instructions found at: https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/install-ubuntu-on-wsl2-on-windows-10
I had issues running jekyll new in Ubuntu 22.04, which is apparently due to an incompatibility with the Brightbox Personal Package Archive and Ubuntu 22.04 (according to https://levelup.gitconnected.com/how-to-install-jekyll-on-wsl-2-13c3b285d513)
- Install Ruby Follow the instructions found at: https://gorails.com/setup/ubuntu/20.04
NOTE: When I did this I had issues with an error on jekyll serve that was due to an unsupported version of Ruby (3.2.0). I had to end up doing a version update using gem update --system to get this to work
Install Jekyll Follow the instructions found at: https://jekyllrb.com/docs/installation/ubuntu/
Install the Jekyll Gem NOTE: GitHub pages is only able to support a certain version of jekyll, need to reference the GitHub dependencies page to see which version to install: https://pages.github.com/versions/ . Thanks to https://www.vgemba.net/blog/Setup-Jekyll-WSL/ for pointing this out.
gem install jekyll --version 3.9.2
2. Open the terminal (WSL for Windows, Terminal for Linux), and enter the following commands into the terminal
# Change to your desired directory, I'm just going to use my home directory (but feel free to mount your C:/ drive if you're using WSL)
cd ~
# Create a new Jekyll website
jekyll new digital-cv
# Move into the newly created folder
cd digital-cv
# Run the website locally
jekyll serve
- Open the new website by navigating to
http://localhost:4000/in a browser.
