To generate and view the website locally, Jekyll is required. The installation of Jekyll for different operating systems is described below (but please also reference the instructions at the Jekyll wiki).

Note that Jekyll requires Ruby to be present on the system.

Jekyll is installed using either your operating system package manager (applicable to most Linux distros) or via RubyGems:

gem install jekyll

Mac OS X users will need to have XCode, as well as Ruby available on the system to use Jekyll. OSX users may require an update to RubyGems:

sudo gem update --system

Follow the instructions for Unix above. If required, the command may require superuser access, so prepend the commands with sudo.

Get Ruby installed on the system using the RubyInstaller You should use the 1.8.x release if 1.9.x causes you problems with unicode.

Follow the instructions for the RubyInstaller DevKit

Install Jekyll using gem:

gem install jekyll

cd into the cilib.github.com repository directory and build using:

rake preview

The generated site is available at http://localhost:4000

This site uses the RDiscount markdown engine, which is an alternate engine for jekyll. The maruku engine seems to have problems when embedding content, such as some Github gists.

For this reason, it is necessary that you also install the RDiscount gem for ruby:

gem install rdiscount
