Jekyll is one of the most popular generators for static websites and is based on Ruby. To realize the actual website, the generator uses CSS, HTML and Markdown. Jekyll also offers easy migration from WordPress or other systems to the new environment.
Here the steps I followed to setup Jekyll on Ubuntu.
Let's start with installing Ruby and prerequisites.
$ sudo apt install ruby-full build-essential zlib1g-dev
Then, setup the gem installation directory in the BASH startup.
$ echo '# Install Ruby Gems to ~/gems' >> ~/.bashrc
$ echo 'export GEM_HOME="$HOME/gems"' >> ~/.bashrc
$ echo 'export PATH="$HOME/gems/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc
$ source ~/.bashrc
Next, install Jekyll and Bundler:
$ gem install jekyll bundler
Now, just clone from the GitHub with the theme Chirpy.
$ git clone https://github.com/cotes2020/jekyll-theme-chirpy
Last, install the dependencies and run local server.
$ cd jekyll-theme-chirpy
$ bundler
$ bundle exec jekyll serve --host 0.0.0.0
