Install Jekyll-A Static Site Genenrator

Assuming conda is installed, use the following commands to install Jekyll and the github-pages gem:

conda env create -f env.yml
conda activate gh-pages

Note that conda-forge may not have the most up-to-date version of the github-pages gem, but it should work fine.
