Yesterday night, my internet crapped out on me and I was offline the whole night without any access to the Bootstrap documentation online. It's easy if you Jekyll installed on your machine properly, so let's deal with installing it on Ubuntu 13.10 first.
The jekyll
package present by default in the Ubuntu repositories is a bit outdated and causes errors with the redcarpet
module whose default repo version is also a bit outdated.
So here's installing Ruby:
sudo apt-get install ruby1.9.1-dev
And then, we install Jekyll using the gem:
sudo gem install jekyll
If you still have issues with redcarpet not rendering the CSS and formatting and all:
sudo gem install redcarpet
And that's it, you're all set.

Assuming you have the Bootstrap Source downloaded and unzipped, (mine is unzipped in my home directory under the name of bs
), you just need to cd
into it and run jekyll serve
. Now you can access the documentation from localhost:9001
or whatever, depending on the Jekyll configuration. (Jekyll will tell it to you in the output it produces when you run it).
nitin@jane-saucy:~$ cd bs/
nitin@jane-saucy:~/bs$ jekyll serve
Configuration file: /home/nitin/bs/_config.yml
Source: /home/nitin/bs
