I followed the official documentation:

It results in the following error:

ERROR:  Error installing jekyll:

After some searching around (in particular this), I ended up installing several packages:

$ sudo apt-get install gcc ruby ruby-dev libxml2 libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev zlibc zlib1g-dev

Disclaimer: Not sure all of those are needed but once I had those, it seemed to work.
