+<p>2022-09-19</p>
+<p><strong>Special Note:</strong> Credit needs to be given to user <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/users/4974784/achraf-jeday">Achraf JEDAY</a> for putting these instructions together on Stack Overflow (although his comments were targeting an older version of Ruby). This post is more for my own personal notes than anything else.</p>
+<p>I find myself constantly running into small issues when trying to setup existing Jekyll projects on new Linux systems. I <em>could</em> use something like Docker, but that just seems so beefy and slow to me. So here is a step-by-step way (and foolproof from my own testing) to get Jekyll running smoothly in no time!</p>
+<h2 id="figuring-out-ruby-first">Figuring out Ruby First</h2>
+<p>The first item of business is removing the default Ruby that ships with most Linux distros:</p>
+<pre><code>sudo apt-get remove ruby
+</code></pre>
+<p>Then we check for updates and install everything we need:</p>
+<pre><code>sudo apt update
+sudo apt install git curl libssl-dev libreadline-dev zlib1g-dev autoconf bison build-essential libyaml-dev libreadline-dev libncurses5-dev libffi-dev libgdbm-dev
+</code></pre>
+<p>Now we can install <code>rbenv</code> and <code>ruby-build</code>:</p>
+<pre><code>curl -sL https:&#47;&#47;github.com&#47;rbenv&#47;rbenv-installer&#47;raw&#47;main&#47;bin&#47;rbenv-installer | bash -
+</code></pre>
+<p>After both of those install, you will want to add those to your system <strong>PATH</strong>:</p>
+<h3 id="bash">Bash</h3>
+<pre><code>echo &#39;export PATH="$HOME&#47;.rbenv&#47;bin:$PATH"&#39; &#62;&#62; ~&#47;.bashrc
+echo &#39;eval "$(rbenv init -)"&#39; &#62;&#62; ~&#47;.bashrc
+source ~&#47;.bashrc
+</code></pre>
+<h3 id="zsh">ZSH</h3>
+<pre><code>echo &#39;export PATH="$HOME&#47;.rbenv&#47;bin:$PATH"&#39; &#62;&#62; ~&#47;.zshrc
+echo &#39;eval "$(rbenv init -)"&#39; &#62;&#62; ~&#47;.zshrc
+source ~&#47;.zshrc
+</code></pre>
+<p>With that complete, we can now install the version of Ruby we wish to use and set it globally (at this time of writing it is <code>3.1.2</code>):</p>
+<pre><code>rbenv install 3.1.2
+rbenv global 3.1.2
+</code></pre>
+<p>And <code>rehash</code> so our changes take:</p>
+<pre><code>rbenv rehash
+</code></pre>
+<p>Now you should see the properly set Ruby version when you run the following:</p>
+<pre><code>ruby -v
+</code></pre>
+<h2 id="getting-ruby-gems">Getting Ruby Gems</h2>
+<p>In case you don&#8217;t have it installed already, be sure to grab <code>rubygems</code>:</p>
+<pre><code>sudo apt install rubygems
+</code></pre>
+<h2 id="running-jekyll">Running Jekyll</h2>
+<p>We are almost done! Navigate to your Jekyll project&#8217;s directory and run:</p>
+<pre><code>gem install jekyll bundler
+bundle install
+</code></pre>
+<p>That&#8217;s it! Now if you run <code>bundle exec jekyll serve</code> you&#8217;ll find your Jekyll project running locally! Hopefully this helps others when needing to port any Jekyll projects over to a new Linux system. I know it will save me time!</p>
+<h2 id="alpine-linux-on-wayland">Alpine Linux on Wayland</h2>
+<p>Save yourself a world of trouble: just use <code>docker</code>. The docker image below (jekyll-serve) works out-of-the-box:</p>
+<p><a href="https://github.com/BretFisher/jekyll-serve">https:&#47;&#47;github.com&#47;BretFisher&#47;jekyll-serve</a></p>
+<p>Then run the following inside your project:</p>
+<pre><code>docker run -p 4000:4000 -v $(pwd):&#47;site bretfisher&#47;jekyll-serve
+</code></pre>
