Summary

Personal homepage / blog using the Jekyll theme minima.

Installation

Linux

• Clone the git repository.

• Install Jekyll, e.g. on Ubuntu (as superuser)

  • apt-get update
  • apt-get upgrade
  • apt-get install ruby-full
  • gem install jekyll. Check jekyll --version. If error:
  • gem install bundler
  • apt-get install zlib1g-dev
  • gem install nokogiri -v '1.8.1'
  • bundle install
  • jekyll --version

• From the project root, jekyll serve

• Go to localhost:4000 in the browser

Mac OS X

• Install Vagrant with an Ubuntu box and fsnotify

• Clone the git repository onto the host machine and the guest machine (latter requires ssh-ing into the Vagrant box).

• Get the Vagrant box's IP address grep -nrw 'ip' Vagrantfile

• Sync the newly-cloned git repositories on the guest and host machines by adding config.vm.synced_folder "/path/to/host-machine/repo", "/path/to/guest-machine/repo", fsnotify: true to Vagrantfile. This allows editing source files with your editor of choice on the host machine and for changes to take effect without restarting the server on a page refresh. If your editor of choice is Vim, Nano, etc. you can skip this step 😉

• Exit ssh, restart the Vagrant box vagrant reload --provision <vagrantboxid> and start a new session.

• Install Jekyll. From the project root, jekyll serve --host=0.0.0.0 Go in the browser to <ipaddress>:4000 replacing <ipaddress> with the one obtained in the third step. You should see the app load.
