| the easiest way to run Jekyll is to use the new [Bash on Ubuntu on Windows](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/commandline/wsl/about?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396). | ||||
| For older installations, this page aims to collect some of the general knowledge and lessons that have been unearthed by Windows users. | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| ## Installation | ||||
| ## Installation via Bash on Windows 10 | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| A quick way to install Jekyll is to follow the [installation instructions by David Burela](https://davidburela.wordpress.com/2015/11/28/easily-install-jekyll-on-windows-with-3-command-prompt-entries-and-chocolatey/): | ||||
| *Please note:* You must have [Bash on Ubuntu on Windows](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/commandline/wsl/about?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396) enabled. | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| First let's make sure all our packages / repositories are up to date. Open a new Command Prompt instance, and type the following: | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| ``` | ||||
| bash | ||||
| ``` | ||||
| Your Command Prompt instance should now be a Bash instance. Now we must update our repo lists and packages. | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| ``` | ||||
| sudo apt-get update -y && sudo apt-get upgrade -y | ||||
| ``` | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| Now we can install Ruby. To do this we will use a repository from [BrightBox](https://www.brightbox.com/docs/ruby/ubuntu/), which hosts optimized versions of Ruby for Ubuntu. | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| ``` | ||||
| sudo apt-add-repository ppa:brightbox/ruby-ng | ||||
| sudo apt-get update | ||||
| sudo apt-get install ruby2.3 ruby2.3-dev build-essentials | ||||
| ``` | ||||
| Next let's update our Ruby gems: | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| ``` | ||||
| sudo gem update | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| ``` | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| Now all that is left to do is install Jekyll. | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| ``` | ||||
| sudo gem install jekyll bundler | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| ``` | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| You can test by running: | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| ``` | ||||
| jekyll new my_project | ||||
| ``` | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| **And that's it!** | ||||
| If you `cd` into the folder, you can make sure time management is working by opening your `_posts` folder. You should see a markdown file with the current date listed. | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| *Please note* Bash on Ubuntu on Windows is still under development, so you may run into issues. If you see an Auto-Regeneration error warning in your Bash instance, you can ignore it. | ||||

 | ||||
| ## Installation via Chocolatey | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| A quick way to install Jekyll using Chocolatey is to follow the [installation instructions by David Burela](https://davidburela.wordpress.com/2015/11/28/easily-install-jekyll-on-windows-with-3-command-prompt-entries-and-chocolatey/): | ||||

| If you use UTF-8 encoding, make sure that no `BOM` header | ||||

| ## Timezone Management | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| Since Windows doesn't have a native source of zoneinfo data, the Ruby Interpreter would not understand IANA Timezones and hence using them had the `TZ` environment variable default to UTC/GMT 00:00. | ||||
| Though Windows users could alternatively define their blog's timezone by setting the key to use POSIX format of defining timezones, it wasn't as user-friendly when it came to having the clock altered to changing DST-rules. | ||||

| 
 | ||||
| ## Auto-regeneration | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| As of v1.3.0, Jekyll uses the `listen` gem to watch for changes when the | ||||
| `--watch` switch is specified during a build or serve. While `listen` has | ||||
| built-in support for UNIX systems, it requires an extra gem for compatibility | ||||
