## Running Jekyll For Local Editing:

### Installation:

Before we install Jekyll, we need to make sure we have all the required dependencies.

```
sudo apt-get install ruby-full build-essential zlib1g-dev
```

It is best to avoid installing Ruby Gems as the root user. Therefore, we need to set up a gem installation directory for your user account. The following commands will add environment variables to your `~/.bashrc` file to configure the gem installation path. Run them now:

```
echo '# Install Ruby Gems to ~/gems' >> ~/.bashrc
echo 'export GEM_HOME="$HOME/gems"' >> ~/.bashrc
echo 'export PATH="$HOME/gems/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
```

Finally, install Jekyll:

```
gem install jekyll bundler
```

That’s it! You’re ready to start using Jekyll.

### Usage:

```
cd <cloned-github-directory>
```

```
$ bundle exec jekyll serve
> Configuration file: /Users/octocat/my-site/_config.yml
>            Source: /Users/octocat/my-site
>       Destination: /Users/octocat/my-site/_site
> Incremental build: disabled. Enable with --incremental
>      Generating...
