Personal website and blog

mmphego.github.io

My personal website. Visit https://mmphego.github.io/ to view it, cloned from http://anuditverma.github.io/

How do I clone it locally?

Run git clone https://github.com/mmphego/mmphego.github.io.git in the folder where you want to clone it. Then type jekyll serve to host the site on a localhost server and refresh it as new changes are made.

How to run locally?

Install Ruby and Jekyll

First of all, I had to instal Ruby. Jekyll is a program written in Ruby, so we need to install it in our development station. In my case, I installed on Ubuntu so install the packages needed is as simple as any other package installation.

sudo apt install gcc ruby ruby-dev libxml2 libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev zlibc zlib1g-dev

After that we can install the Jekyll generator by using the Ruby package manager Rubygems. Also we will install the Ruby bundler tool for future needs.

gem install jekyll bundler

Run the site

bundle exec jekyll serve

This start a server in the localhost at the port 4000. Then you can open that url in your browser and see how it looks.

Note to self: dont forget the header
