- Install ruby. If you are on MacOS, twang6 recommends installing via Homebrew. Ruby is what Jekyll is written in.
- Install bundler by running the command
gem install bundler. Bundler helps manage ruby dependencies for projects. - Navigate to the git repository directory on your computer and run the command
bundle install. This installs the dependencies for this project. - Launch a local copy of the site by running the command
bundle exec jekyll serve. This runs Jekyll using the dependencies installed by bundle and has Jekyll serve a local copy of the site. By default, the local site can be viewed at http://localhost:4000. - Check to see that your changes are showing up properly locally. If they are you can commit your changes and push them to GitHub.
