2. Install Jekyll

   gem update --system
   gem install bundler
   bundle install

3. Install Node & yarn, use version in build-test-deploy.yml in "Setup Node.js", (try nvm)

   nvm install --lts --reinstall-packages-from=current
   nvm use --lts
   yarn install

Build the site

Build the HTML website (see available localhost:#### port in the console output):

bundle exec jekyll build

Serve/run the site

bundle exec jekyll serve

(Bonus) if you will build using Jekyll but deploy to a different server with a script interpreter

You can run PHP or similar on the built site. Here's how.

(cd build; php -S localhost:4001)

yarn test

VS Code

This will give you formatting, linting, and other tools to help you develop.
