Run Jekyll website locally

Posted by Jacek Styrylski on February 23, 2017

In order to check your website locally you need to set up local Jekyll environment using following steps:

  1. Install Ruby, be careful when using package managers since they not always have latest version what might lead to problems with certificates eventually stopping the installation.
  2. gem install github-pages be sure that you’ve restarted console since environment variables needs to be reloaded.
  3. From given repository call jekyll serve --watch

App Should be available under following link:
