Installing Jekyll on CentOS 7

Tue, 26 Aug 2014 00:00:00 +0000

Having recently move to Jekyll as my blogging platform, I thought I would take a quick look at how easy it is to get going on Linux.

Installation on CentOS 7 is very straight forward. First add the EPEL repository for CentOS 7 as this is where you will find the nodejs rpm

sudo yum install http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/beta/7/x86_64/epel-release-7-0.2.noarch.rpm

Install the required packages, note npm is not required but handy to have around.

sudo yum install nodejs npm ruby ruby-devel rubygems git
gem install jekyll

Start using Jekyll.

Life in the old blog

So the old blog got a face lift, and when you do that the thing everyone does is to write a blog aticle about it. Well me too but it will be pretty short and not very detailed as there are loads of places that can cover thats better than me.

First stop was to move to my own domain name, get over to hover for that and setup www.resilvered.com to point to resilvered.blogger.com and have it server my new custom domain. Note I didn’t go for a .au domain becuase of price and the requirement of an ABN.
