Install Jekyll on Apple Silicon (Jamstack)

Jekyll is a popular Jamstack static site generator. You do not need a database back-end, and it uses industry-standard HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to create sites. Most developers build and test their Jekyll sites locally. This video covers how to install Jekyll locally on your Mac. While this video works for any Mac, it was tested on the new Apple Silicon platform (in my case, a MacBook Pro with M1).
