On the Jekyll homepage at [jekyllrb.com](https://jekyllrb.com/)

it says to do:

> gem install bundler jekyll  
> jekyll new my-awesome-site  
> cd my-awesome-site  
> bundle exec jekyll serve  
> Now browse to [http://localhost:4000](http://localhost:4000)

However, it seems you need to run **bundle install** before **bundle exec jekyll serve** , so I think this should be added to not confuse new users.

Thank you for listening to my feedback.

`jekyll new my-awesome-site` runs **`bundle install`** automatically as the last step. So there’s no need to document it
