- Use Git Bash
- clone the repository
- Install ruby from
https://rubyinstaller.org/downloads/ - run
gem install bundler - in the root folder, run
bundler install - now, you should be able to run
jekyll serve. If you encounter any trouble on dependencies, you can try alternativelybundler exec jekyll serve - the site is now available on http://localhost:4000. If you have other services running on this port, you can alter the contents of _config.yml to have Jekyll run on a different port.
