Install ruby-full:
sudo apt-get install ruby-full
Install ruby-ffi
Install Jekyll
gem install --http-proxy http://wwwcache.gla.ac.uk:8080 jekyll
install node.js
Should then work for normal user.
Quick test – (from https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-deploy-jekyll-blogs-with-git)
This will create an awesomeblog directory containing the configuration files, posts directory and other required bits.
cd awesomeblog
jekyll serve
Jekyll will build your blog, and after a few seconds you should be able to visit http://host:4000 in your browser. Or skip the serve bit and check in the _site subdirectory.

If running normal raspbian edit the file /etc/network/interfaces to add in two blocks:
iface eth0 inet dhcp
and
iface eth0 inet static
address 169.254.210.230
netmask 255.255.0.0
Comment out the block not in use. For networks that have a dhcp server running use the first block, for connecting to a Windows computer via a private network use the second (If Windows connects to a network, is set to obtain an address automatically and can’t get one then it self-assigns a 169.254.x.y address). Static address can be anything of the form 169.254.x.y.

Ran into a couple of problems here:
Default Debian behaviour is to mount cd’s with noexec option. Thus you get permission denied even as root when you try to run the install script. Solution; remount cd:
sudo mount -o remount,exec,ro /media/cdrom0
or whatever path the cd is mounted at. You need the ro otherwise it complains.
Other more general problem: sudo ./install just results in Installing... Finished and a silent fail. In the old days using gksudo fixed this but apparently it’s deprecated now. It does work when running as normal user, so tried:

First user in Ubuntu 14.04.3 has membership of groups:
- adm

Another user created as administrator from the GUI gets:
- adm

We had a problem with a couple of users who kept having synchronisation problems with an Exchange (2010) server, using Outlook 2010. Some mail would not appear in mailboxes, but would appear in the web client. The sync would claim to complete ok, but looking at the Sync Issues folder there were a lot of messages of the form:
13:22:28 Error Synchronizing Hierarchy for Mailbox 'TeamShared'
13:22:28 [80040305-54A-4DE-1900]
13:22:28 Your server administrator has limited the number of items you can open simultaneously. Try closing messages you have opened or removing attachments and images from unsent messages you are composing.
This can occur if the secondary mailbox has a a lot of folders, which this one does – there’s a big tree of stuff in there. To solve this we turned off caching of the secondary mailbox. The details of the problem and the various workarounds are given at:
