Installing Jekyll on Windows

1. Open CMD with Admin privilege.

2. Install chocolatey:

   @powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1 && SET "PATH=%PATH%;%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\chocolatey\bin"

   Alternatively you can run following command(s) from an administrative PowerShell v3+ prompt:

   • Ensure Get-ExecutionPolicy is not Restricted and minimum set to RemoteSigned. If it’s Restricted then you need to change it first by running:

     Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned

   • Install chocolatey:

     iwr https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1 -UseBasicParsing | iex

   • Don’t forget to restore the policy if you changed it before by executing:

     Set-ExecutionPolicy <your-old-policy>

3. Reopen CMD. Then install Ruby using chocolatey:

   choco install ruby -y

4. Install jekyll, and bundler - package manager that will aid you in installing all the Jekyll dependencies:

   gem install jekyll bundler

5. Congrats! Now you can use jekyll command on your Windows.
