|  | ### How to install github-gem | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | This section is part of an article written by [Jens Willmer][jwillmerPost]. To follow the instructions you need to have [Chocolatey][] installed on your system. If you already have a version of Ruby installed you need to uninstall it before you can continue. | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | #### Install Ruby and Ruby development kit | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | Open a command prompt and execute the following commands: | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  |  * `choco install ruby -version 2.2.4`  | ||||||
|  |  * `choco install ruby2.devkit` - _needed for compilation of json gem_ | ||||||
|  |   | ||||||
|  | #### Configure Ruby development kit  | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | The development kit did not set the environment path for Ruby so we need to do it. | ||||||
|  |   | ||||||
|  |  * Open command prompt in `C:\tools\DevKit2`  | ||||||
|  |  * Execute `ruby dk.rb init` to create a file called `config.yml` | ||||||
|  |  * Edit the `config.yml` file and include the path to Ruby `- C:/tools/ruby22` | ||||||
|  |  * Execute the following command to set the path: `ruby dk.rb install` | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | #### Nokogiri gem installation | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | This gem is also needed in the github-gem and to get it running on Windows x64 we have to install a few things. | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | **Note:** In the current [pre release][nokogiriFails] it works out of the box with Windows x64 but this version is not referenced in the github-gem. | ||||||

|  | `cinst -Source "https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=230477" libxml2`{:.language-ruby} | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | `cinst -Source "https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=230477" libxslt`{:.language-ruby} | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | `cinst -Source "https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=230477" libiconv`{:.language-ruby} | ||||||
|  |   | ||||||
|  | ```language-ruby | ||||||
|  |  gem install nokogiri --^ | ||||||
|  |    --with-xml2-include=C:\Chocolatey\lib\libxml2.2.7.8.7\build\native\include^ | ||||||
|  |    --with-xml2-lib=C:\Chocolatey\lib\libxml2.redist.2.7.8.7\build\native\bin\v110\x64\Release\dynamic\cdecl^ | ||||||
|  |    --with-iconv-include=C:\Chocolatey\lib\libiconv.1.14.0.11\build\native\include^ | ||||||
|  |    --with-iconv-lib=C:\Chocolatey\lib\libiconv.redist.1.14.0.11\build\native\bin\v110\x64\Release\dynamic\cdecl^ | ||||||
|  |    --with-xslt-include=C:\Chocolatey\lib\libxslt.1.1.28.0\build\native\include^ | ||||||
|  |    --with-xslt-lib=C:\Chocolatey\lib\libxslt.redist.1.1.28.0\build\native\bin\v110\x64\Release\dynamic | ||||||
|  | ``` | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | #### Install github-gem | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  |  * Open command prompt and install [Bundler][]: `gem install bundler` | ||||||
|  |  * Create a file called `Gemfile` without any extension in your root directory of your blog | ||||||
|  |  * Copy & past the two lines into the file: | ||||||
|  |   | ||||||
|  |   | ||||||
|  | ```language-ruby | ||||||
|  | source 'http://rubygems.org' | ||||||
|  | gem 'github-pages' | ||||||
|  | ``` | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  |  * **Note:** We use an unsecure connection because SSL throws exceptions in the version of Ruby | ||||||
|  |  * Open a command prompt and install github-pages: `bundle install` | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  |   | ||||||
|  | After this process you should have github-pages installed on your system and you can host your blog again with `jekyll s`. \\ | ||||||
|  | There will be a warning on startup that you should include `gem 'wdm', '>= 0.1.0' if Gem.win_platform?` to your `Gemfile` but I could not get `jekyll s` working if I include that line so for the moment I ignore that warning. | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | In the future the installation process of the github-gem should be as simple as the setup of the blog. But as long as the new version of the Nokogiri ([v1.6.8][nokogiriReleases]) is not stable and referenced, it is work to get it up and running on Windows.  | ||||||
