So far, it has been going fairly well. Nothing will probably ever feel as “optimized” as running a Linux-based system but it works well for my current needs. Getting a Jekyll development environment setup was a different story though…</p> +<p>One of the first issues with using Windows 10 is the need to run a few of my open source projects that are built off Jekyll locally. This process initially seemed a like complex process to get things running smoothly but in the end was very straightforward. The main issue came from needing to bounce around through a handful of separate tutorials to get everything running smoothly.</p> +<p>So, I thought I would make this quick write-up to help those in the same situation (or even for my future self the need arises). Let’s get into it.</p> +<h2 id="wsl">WSL</h2> +<p>The first step involves installing <a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install">WSL</a> in order to run Linux alongside the main Windows OS. The documentation is well written and will get you up-and-running in no time. For quick reference, it essentially comes down to:</p> +<ol> +<li>Opening PowerShell or Command Prompt as an administrator</li> +<li>Installing via the command: <code>wsl --install</code></li> +<li>Restarting your machine after the install completes</li> +<li>Creating your UNIX username and password</li> +</ol> +<h2 id="installing-ruby-dependencies">Installing Ruby & Dependencies</h2> +<p>Once logged into your UNIX terminal session (with your created user) you can begin installing everything we need for Jekyll to work properly. The first step is to installing <code>rvm</code> and the <a href="https://github.com/rvm/ubuntu_rvm">official project documentation</a> does a very good job of walking you through this.</p> +<ul> +<li><p>Be sure dependencies as installed: <code>sudo apt-get install software-properties-common</code></p></li> +<li><p>Add the PPA and install the package:</p> +<p>sudo apt-add-repository -y ppa:rael-gc/rvm +sudo apt-get update +sudo apt-get install rvm</p></li> +<li><p>Add your existing user to the <code>rvm</code> group: <code>sudo usermod -a -G rvm $USER</code></p></li> +</ul> +<p>You will need to close and restart your session to your Ubuntu system for these changes to take. After that, we can use <code>rvm</code> to install the latest version (at this time of writing) of ruby:</p> +<pre><code>rvm install 3.1.2 +</code></pre> +<p>That’s it!</p> +<h2 id="jekyll---finally">Jekyll - Finally!</h2> +<p>The final step is to update our gems and install Jekyll:</p> +<pre><code>gem update +gem install jekyll bundler +</code></pre> +<p>Once complete you can now run your Jekyll projects locally through WSL! Nothing ground-breaking but still pretty helpful for first-time users. And best of all, at least I have a good reference point in the future if I ever run into this issue again!</p> +<footer role="contentinfo"> + <h2>Menu Navigation</h2> + <ul id="menu"> + <li><a href="/">Home</a></li> + <li><a href="/projects">Projects</a></li> + <li><a href="/uses">Uses</a></li> + <li><a href="/wiki">Wiki</a></li> + <li><a href="/resume">Resume</a></li> + <li><a href="/colophon">Colophon</a></li> + <li><a href="/now">Now</a></li> + <li><a href="/donate">Donate</a></li> + <li><a href="/atom.xml">RSS</a></li> + <li><a href="#top">↑ Top of the page</a></li> + </ul> + <small> + Built with <a href="https://git.sr.ht/~bt/barf">barf</a>. <br> + Maintained with ♥ for the web. <br> + Proud supporter of <a href="https://usefathom.com/ref/DKHJVX">Fathom</a> & <a href="https://nextdns.io/?from=74d3p3h8">NextDNS</a>. <br> + The content for this site is <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/">CC-BY-SA</a>.<br> The <a href="https://git.sr.ht/~bt/bt.ht">code for this site</a> is <a href="https://git.sr.ht/~bt/bt.ht/tree/master/item/LICENSE">MIT</a>. + </small> +</footer>
