-----------------------------------------------------------------
I spun up a Windows VM (2016) on x64. Here are my observations:
* Following [https://jekyllrb.com/docs/windows/].
* Attempted installing latest (*rubyinstaller-devkit-2.5.1-2-x64.exe*).
Windows Defender claims the file contains a virus and deletes it. I believe it
is unsigned.
* As per the RubyInstaller site's instructions ,*2.4.4-2* works just fine. I
installed MSYS2 and MINGW development toolchain (option 3).
* I made sure the *ruby/bin* directory was in the system path (this can be
done in System Properties / Advanced > Environment Variables)
* *gem install jekyll bundler* worked as expected.
* *jekyll -v* output:
{{PS C:\Users\rfernand> jekyll -v}}
{{jekyll 3.8.3}}
{{PS C:\Users\rfernand>}}
* *jekyll new jekyll-website* successfully installed the blog.
A comment in the discussion doc ([~thomasWeise]) acknowledges the process is
not that painful (agree), and merely suggests it can be made even simpler with
a container.
