Jekyll uses YAML language to organize the structure of the page. <a href="https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/">Markdown</a> language, which is a text-to-HTML converter, makes webpages easy to write and adapt.</p> <p>Jekyll is writen in Ruby and can be installed using <code>gem</code>. On a Linux machine that already has Ruby installed, Jekyll can be installed as the following:</p> <div class="highlight"><pre tabindex="0" style="background-color:#f7f7f7;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4;-webkit-text-size-adjust:none;"><code class="language-sh" data-lang="sh"><span style="display:flex;"><span>gem install jekyll bundler </span></span><span style="display:flex;"><span>jekyll new my-awesome-site </span></span><span style="display:flex;"><span><span style="color:#6639ba">cd</span> my-awesome-site </span></span><span style="display:flex;"><span>bundle <span style="color:#6639ba">exec</span> jekyll serve </span></span></code></pre></div><p>Now you can visualize the page using <a href="http://localhost:4000">http://localhost:4000</a></p>
