Since Jekyll is available in Official Debian repository, Jekyll Installation on Debian is Easy. Just issue this command to install system wide Jekyll gem, and Debian will take care of Jekyll’s dependencies.
$ apt-get install jekyllInstall Ruby
Let’s not make this guidance too short, and play for a while.
To check whether Ruby installed or not, you can issue dpkg command in your shell..
$ dpkg -l 'ruby*'If you are using ruby* instead of just ruby word, there will be bunch of ruby packages coming in the list.
