Building portable Jekyll for Windows


Recently, I was trying to install Jekyll on Windows on multiple computers and got frustrated with enormous amount of work I had to do.

If anyone of you have seen my earlier blogpost on Installing Jekyll on Windows , you would agree that it requires considerable amount of effort.

Hence, I decided to build a portable version of Jekyll for myself, which I could easily copy on multiple computers. The portable version contains everything which is required to run Jekyll on Windows:

  • Ruby 2.0
  • Ruby development Kit
  • Git 1.9.2
  • Python 2.7.5

You can download the Complete PortableJekyll package here from my github repo
