Emoji Proposals (an art blog)

Installing the stuff

Install ruby. I recomment using rvm. (Also, I've only done this on Linux... so deal with it.)

Install bundler:

gem install bundler

Create a gemset (whatever that is):

rvm gemset create emojiproposals
rvm gemset use emojiproposals

Install some stuff needed by nokogiri, because I've found that it will never install otherwise:

sudo apt-get install libxslt-dev libxml2-dev

Then install all the gems (and also make nokogiri use the libs we just installed):

NOKOGIRI_USE_SYSTEM_LIBRARIES=1 bundle install

Running the site locally

Did you finally manage to install everything? Yeah, I know, it was hard. It's okay though, because you are now ready to write about art. Just one more quick step:

jekyll serve

Now, you can browse to the URL that the command prints out -- usually http://127.0.0.1:4000/ (I even made that a link, just for you).
