</h1> +<p>
+2022-09-02
+
+I've recently been playing around with using Windows 10 as my daily operating system. 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...
+
+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.
+
+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>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> +<p>
+</p> +<h2>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>Be sure dependencies as installed: <code>sudo apt-get install software-properties-common</code>
</li> +<li>Add the PPA and install the package:
</li> +</ul> +<p>
+
+</p> +<pre><code>sudo apt-add-repository -y ppa:rael-gc/rvm
+sudo apt-get update
+sudo apt-get install rvm
+</code></pre> +<p>
+
</p> + +<ul> +<li>Add your existing user to the <code>rvm</code> group: <code>sudo usermod -a -G rvm $USER</code>
</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>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!
