How to run Jekyll 3 on Windows

Installing Jekyll 3 on Windows machines is not as simple as for Linux or OSX. We to have an excellent guide written by Julian Thilo on how to install Jekyll v2.x but it has not been updated to cover Jekyll v3.x.

Unfortunately there is a lot of breaking changes between Jekyll v2.x and v3.x but don't worry, this guide is here to help!
