Install Jekyll for Github

To install Jekyll software for local testing:

1. Run command: gem install bundler
2. Go to root directory of repo and create file called Gemfile
3. Add line gem 'github-pages' to top of Gemfile
4. Run command bundle install

Running Jekyll

In the repo root folder, run command bundle exec jekyll serve

Updating Jekyll

Every once in a while, update Jekyll with the command bundle update in the root directory.

SHORTCUT

Just run the script sudo update_and_run_jekyll.sh from the repo root directory. It will update the software and then run the test server on port 4000.
