First follow the Quickstart's instructions to install a full Ruby development environment, Jekyll and bundler gems. Then for the first time the Step by Step Tutorial is very useful.

It’s good practice to have a Gemfile for your site. This ensures the version of Jekyll and other gems remains consistent across different environments.
Create Gemfile in the root with the following lines:
source 'https://rubygems.org'
gem 'jekyll'
bundle install
The bundle install installs the gems and creates Gemfile.lock which locks the current gem versions for a future bundle install . If you ever want to update your gem versions you can run bundle update .
When using a Gemfile , you’ll run commands like jekyll serve with bundle exec prefixed. So the full command is:
bundle exec jekyll serve
