UPDATE 2017/05/17:
I now recommend using the “Windows 10 Subsystem for Linux” which provides an Ubuntu bash shell, to install and use Jekyll. This is how I use it myself.
Install guide is here https://davidburela.wordpress.com/2017/05/17/how-to-install-jekyll-on-windows-10-with-windows-subsystem-for-linux/
Summary: this tutorial shows you step by step how to install MySQL on Windows platform using MySQL Installer.After the tutorial, you will have a MySQL database server and its tools up and running in your system for learning and practicing MySQL. Install Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) Starting with windows 10, Microsoft has released a product called Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). WSL gives you the bash command shell on windows, which is the same shell that runs on Linux/Unix.
I’ve been using Jekyll to create static websites on GitHub Pages, but I was unsure how to install it with dependencies I wasn’t used to (NodeJS & Ruby). Here is the easiest way to get Jekyll set up on your machine in just a couple of minutes.
TL;DR if you have Chocolatey installed the 2 commands are:
- choco install ruby -y
- gem install bundler
- gem install jekyll
Prerequisite – Chocolatey
You need to have Chocolatey installed on your machine. Chocolatey is the BEST way to install and keep applications updated on windows.
- Open a command prompt with Administrator access
- Install Chocolatey
- Close the command prompt as Chocolatey will not be available until you close and reopen.
- Open a command prompt with Administrator access
- Install Ruby
choco install ruby -y - Close and open a new command prompt with Administrator access
- Install gem bundler
gem install bundler - Install Jekyll
gem install jekyll - UPDATE 2016/12/5: if you get an error about SSL, you will need to manually update Ruby Gems, because their certificate expired… Hopefully the new certificate will be bundled in the future

Now you can use standard Jekyll commands to create a new site and serve it e.g.
jekyll new myblog
cd myblog
jekyll serve Super hit songs telugu mp3 free download.
Edits:
2016/12/05: Added details on how to get resolve the Ruby Gems certificate expiring. And added gem bundler which is a new requirement.
2015/12/05: From Jekyll 3.0 you do not need to install NodeJS. This brings it down to just 2 command prompt entries to install Jekyll

Choco Install Windows Build Tools
Forget the Windows Store. Microsoft is working on a Linux-style package management framework for Windows, and it’s included with Windows 10. It’s being tested with Chocolatey’s existing packages, and allows you to easily install desktop applications and other software.
This is huge news. If you’ve ever used Linux, you’ve probably wanted a package management system for the Windows desktop ever since. Now it’s finally arriving!
Note: in the RTM release OneGet has been renamed to PackageManagement.
OneGet, a Package Management Framework for Windows
This package manager is called OneGet, and is shipping as part of PowerShell. In a blog post titled “My little secret : Windows PowerShell OneGet” over at Technet, Microsoft’s Garret Serack explains:
“OneGet is a unified interface to package management systems and aims to make Software Discovery, Installation and Inventory (SDII) work via a common set of cmdlets (and eventually a set of APIs). Regardless of the installation technology underneath, users can use these common cmdlets to install/uninstall packages, add/remove/query package repositories, and query a system for the software installed. Included in this CTP is a prototype implementation of a Chocolatey-compatible package manager that can install existing Chocolatey packages.”
As OneGet is part of the latest version of PowerShell, it’s included by default in the Windwos 10 Technical Preview. It’s also available as part of the Windows Management Framework 5.0 Preview for Windows 8.1.
Just look at the image at the top of this article to see how it will all work. Yes, you can install VLC or another piece of Windows software that easily! After you run the command, OneGet will locate the package in your configured package sources, download it to your computer, and install it — all automatically. And there should be graphical user interfaces for this, too, so it’ll just take a few clicks.
Windows geeks, celebrate! The era of an officially supported Windows package manager is now almost here!
@chrisbhoffman @brians198 okay, sit down. Microsoft is working on #oneget, a pkg mgr aggregator, that will include a choco client in Win10

(Currently, OneGet is in flux. The initial version of OneGet shipped with Chocolatey as its sole default repository, but Chocolatey has now been removed from the default configuration. A Chocolatey package source will soon be available for easy installation via OneGet. You can currently install the Chocolatey package source with a command, but Chocolatey’s packages wouldn’t actually install on our system after doing so. This is a minor roadbump in development.)
How OneGet Works
Let’s dig in a bit deeper. Here’s how Microsoft describes OneGet:
“OneGet is a new way to discover and install software packages from around the web. With OneGet, you can:
- Manage a list of software repositories in which packages can be searched, acquired, and installed
- Search and filter your repositories to find the packages you need
- Seamlessly install and uninstall packages from one or more repositories with a single PowerShell command”
The Get-PackageSource cmdlet lets you view a list of installed package sources, or repositories. OneGet now includes two Microsoft-provided sources. Chocolatey was previously the default package source during development and can easily be added.
Anyone can create and operate a repository of packages. Microsoft could potentially create their own one-stop-shop for Windows desktop programs. A company could manage its own repository with the programs they use so they can be easily installed and managed. A software developer could set up a repository containing only the software they create so their users can easily install and update it. You can add more repositories with the Add-PackageSource cmdlet or remove them with Remove-PackageSource.
The Find-Package cmdlet lets you search the package sources you’ve configured for available packages. Find software to install without searching the web!
The Install-Package cmdlet then lets you install a package of your choice, just by specifying its name. The package is automatically downloaded and installed from the software repository of your choice without any searching for .exe files, downloading them, and clicking through wizards that try to install junk on your computer. Better yet, you can specify multiple package names here — imagine installing the fifty Windows programs you use with a single command and leaving your computer to get a coffee while doing so.
The Get-Package cmdlet then lets you see what packages you have installed. Packages can later be uninstalled with Uninstall-Package. There’s currently no Update-Package command that will automatically install the latest versions of these software package from the available repositories, something that will be sorely needed — hopefully it’s on its way.

What’s a Package Manager? And What’s Chocolatey?
RELATED:How Software Installation & Package Managers Work On Linux
If you’ve gotten this far, you should understand the basics of what a package manager is. Basically, it’s a software tool that makes installation, updating, and locating of software to install much easier. Package managers are used on Linux, and they let you install packages from trusted software repositories in just a few clicks or keystrokes. The package manager can automatically update your packages whenever updated versions are added to the repositories, so every program doesn’t need its own built-in updater. It’s easy to use, and also very easy to automate.

Chocolatey is a package manager that brings this style of easy software installation to Windows. Currently, it primarily uses text commands so it hasn’t found much of a home beyond geeks — but geeks love it! Chocolatey allows you to install Windows software like Firefox, VLC, and 7-Zip with just a few keystrokes instead of the usual downloading and clicking process, just like you’d install software on Linux. Chocolatey is currently running a Kickstarter, seeking money to “take Chocolatey to the next level.” They’re also working on a graphical user interface for their package manager so average Windows users can more easily use it. With the package manager framework in Windows 10, Chocolatey can easily piggy-back off whatever work Microsoft is doing — work that seems originally inspired by Chocolatey. Rather than being a bolted-on package management system, Chocolatey will work hand-in-hand with the package management framework included with Windows.
It’s impossible to say exactly how far Microsoft will go here. One thing’s for sure: For Windows system administrators and geeks, installing software and automating software deployments is about to get a lot easier. This is currently a geek tool, as it’s only available via PowerShell commands. But, as Microsoft says, this will eventually be exposed as a set of APIs.
Microsoft could do a lot more with this. They could use this package management system to add easy installation of desktop applications from the Windows Store — we already know they’re going to add desktop applications to the Windows Store in Windows 10. On Linux systems, there are nice graphical “app store”-style interfaces that make installing desktop programs from the system package manager easy. We’ll have to keep watching Windows 10 and see just how far they take this new package management framework.
