Install Jekyll on Manjaro Linux using rubygems

This website is built using Jekyll, a powerful static website generator. I will explain how to install it on Manjaro Linux.

At the time of this writing, the installation of the ruby-jekyll package does not work because the dependency ruby-kramdown is missing.

A possible workaround is to install it with rubygems.

Install the dependencies as root user

pacman -Sy ruby nodejs

Install Jekyll as a normal user

gem install jekyll

Setting up

Edit your .bashrc file and add the gems binaries into the $PATH environment variable, like this:

# Add gems binaries to my PATH
export PATH=${PATH}:${HOME}/.gem/ruby/2.2.0/bin
