Setup and development on MacOS

1. Install prerequisites using Homebrew
2. Install jekyll and bundler gems
3. If jekyll plugins are missing, install them (see _config.yml) via

gem install jekyll-paginate

4. Check out the git repository
5. Run

bundle exec jekyll serve --force_polling

6. Browse to http://localhost:4000

I ran into problems on MacOS Ventura 13.6.7. I was able to resolve it using Ruby 3.2.3 with rbenv and adding webrick:

rbenv install 3.2.3
rbenv local 3.2.3
gem install bundler jekyll
bundle install
bundle add webrick
bundle exec jekyll build
bundle exec jekyll serve --force_polling

See Leap Day, 2024 and Jekyll serve fails on Ruby 3.0 for details.

Also see:

• bundle exec jekyll serve not working locally
• Ruby (Versioning) Hell with Jekyll & GitHub Pages

To-do

• Adjust logo background to work with dark mode.
