Windows platform

Some background:

1. Corresponding to on windows ('win32'), jekyll.bat should be utilized.
   

   systemds-website/gulpfile.js

   Line 9 in 7c9284a

   const jekyll = process.platform === 'win32' ? 'jekyll.bat':'jekyll';

2. Check the process.platform as shown.
   

3. Based on 1, jekyll.bat should be available on the path.

Hi @vanshika0109 - can you see the above comment. This might give you an idea of how gulp command is invoking jekyll.

@vanshika0109 -
Hi,
For windows
1.Make sure you have Ruby Installed. If not install it from here https://rubyinstaller.org
2.set up the ruby environment in the Path variables .

3.Install jekyll with the help of this https://jekyllrb.com/docs/

Yes, I can see it and I understand that😊.

[vanshika0109]

I have installed ruby but now I am not able to install jekyll.
I have set the path also.

Make sure you could spot jekyll.bat file in your installation.

Please, take walk for while and spend reading each comment for 5 minutes.

I guess it is the RubyGems version incompatibility with native extension gems.

Hi @vanshika0109 - If you solved this issue please let others know. (may be you would want to thank the people for their interest in solving this issue.)

Thank you. 😃

[vanshika0109]

I am really sorry for the delay. I have solved the issue. The solutions you all provided helped me a lot. Thank you so much, both of you😊.

I solved this error by running the command 'gem install jekyll'. The only reason why jekyll was not working was that it wasn't getting installed properly, this happened more than 2 times. After running this command I used the 'gulp' command again and it worked successfully. 😃
