Install

You need Ruby 2.6.2, Bundler 2.0.1 and Node lts/erbium installed. Check .ruby-version and .nvmrc for the exact version.

$ bundle install
$ npm install
$ npm start

Error running bundle exec jekyll serve or npm start on Windows

There's a pending bug when you run bundle install on a Windows machine where bundler picks eventmachine-1.2.7-x64-mingw instead of eventmachine-1.2.7-ruby. This causes an error once you start using jekyll.

To get around it, uninstall eventmachine and reinstall it with the platform set to ruby:

$ gem uninstall eventmachine --force
$ gem install eventmachine --platform ruby

See this issue for more information.
