- I only care about running
jekyllfor Github Pages. - ruby 3.x doesn't seem to work correctly with Jekyll
- since I don't care about any other users on my machine, I will NOT install gems to user folder to simplify the process
Double check the pre-installed version of RUBY we DONT want (version 2.6)
$ ruby -v
Installer with homebrew ruby 2.7
$ brew install [email protected]
DONT install under ~/ , install to homebrew's folders to avoid shenanigans with Gemfile not found etc.
$ gem install bundler jekyll
Add the paths into your bash/zsh profile
$ export PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/[email protected]/bin:$PATH"
$ export PATH="/opt/homebrew/lib/ruby/gems/2.7.0/bin:$PATH"
Now jekyll serve --watch works!
There goes another 2 hours of my life :/ 😭😭😭
Check paths
$ gem env
