<h1 id="setup-jekyll-from-scratch-on-a-new-linux-system">Setup Jekyll from Scratch on a New Linux System</h1>
<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://github.com/rbenv/rbenv-installer/raw/main/bin/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 'export PATH="$HOME/.rbenv/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc
echo 'eval "$(rbenv init -)"' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
</code></pre>
<h3 id="zsh">ZSH</h3>
<pre><code>echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.rbenv/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc
echo 'eval "$(rbenv init -)"' >> ~/.zshrc
source ~/.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’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’s directory and run:</p>
<pre><code>gem install jekyll bundler
bundle install
</code></pre>
<p>That’s it! Now if you run <code>bundle exec jekyll serve</code> you’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://github.com/BretFisher/jekyll-serve</a></p>
<p>Then run the following inside your project:</p>
<pre><code>docker run -p 4000:4000 -v $(pwd):/site bretfisher/jekyll-serve
</code></pre>
