- Ruby version 2.0 or above, including all development headers.
sudo apt-get install ruby-full
- NodeJS, or another JavaScript runtime (for CoffeeScript support).

- Bundler to install and run Jekyll.

After above steps you should be able to run GitHub Pages locally. Install dependencies with the command bundler install
in the root of the project directory.
Note: If you get zlib is missing; necessary for building libxml2 error when running bundler install command, you need to install zlib package. In short, you'd execute sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev.

bundler exec jekyll serve
then you will be able to preview your local Jekyll GitHub Pages site in your web browser at http://localhost:4000.
