Jekyll is a free and open-source static site generator written in Ruby. It is popularly known for being used to power the GitHub Pages service.

I switched my testing machine to Fedora 34 to test Gnome 40 and to work on some web development projects. In that process, I discovered that setting up Jekyll requires more steps to get working on Fedora.

Step 1. We need to get the dependencies required to get Jekyll working.

Enter the command below:

<pre class="wp-block-code">```
sudo dnf install ruby rubygems ruby-devel gcc gcc-c++ rpm-build

Step 2. Installing Jekyll and Bundler.

```
sudo gem install jekyll bundler
```
```

Let's create a Jekyll site file system.

```
```
jekyll new jsite
```
```

Setting the jsite folder as the current directory.

```
```
cd jsite/ 
```
```

Build the jsite.

```
```
jekyll b
```
```

That's it, folks; build an excellent static site. If this article helped you create a particular website or project, leave a link to the project in the comments below, I would love to see it.
