-# Setting Up Jekyll on Windows

-

-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.

-

-## WSL

-

-The first step involves installing [WSL](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install) 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:

-

-1. Opening PowerShell or Command Prompt as an administrator

-2. Installing via the command: `wsl --install`

-3. Restarting your machine after the install completes

-4. Creating your UNIX username and password

-

-## Installing Ruby & Dependencies

-

-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 `rvm` and the [official project documentation](https://github.com/rvm/ubuntu_rvm) does a very good job of walking you through this.

-

-- Be sure dependencies as installed: `sudo apt-get install software-properties-common`

-- Add the PPA and install the package:

-

-

-    sudo apt-add-repository -y ppa:rael-gc/rvm

-    sudo apt-get update

-    sudo apt-get install rvm

-

-

-- Add your existing user to the `rvm` group: `sudo usermod -a -G rvm $USER`

-

-You will need to close and restart your session to your Ubuntu system for these changes to take. After that, we can use `rvm` to install the latest version (at this time of writing) of ruby:

-

-

-    rvm install 3.1.2

-

-

-That's it!

-

-## Jekyll - Finally!

-

-The final step is to update our gems and install Jekyll:

-

-

-    gem update

-    gem install jekyll bundler

-

-

-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!
