Spend some time researching any error messages that shows up and you’ll be fine. Just be prepared to spend some time getting everything set up, and don’t get discouraged if what you’re doing doesn’t work right away. Here’s my Twitter stream during that time:
In the end it had more to do with the version of OSX I was using, but it was a longer process than I was prepared for. The first time I tried to install Jekyll I had a terrible time getting my dependencies set up. I totally understand if you fit into that category, I’m not that comfortable myself. Some of you, however, are probably pretty nervous at the thought of having to spend that much time in the command line. If you’re already comfortable with Terminal that shouldn’t really be a problem for you.
#Gem install jekyll version download#
For Mavericks or earlier you’ll need to manually download Xcode from Apple and select the “Install Command Line Tools” option when installing it.īy now you’ve probably noticed that you’ll be spending a good bit of time in Terminal or in the command line when installing and using Jekyll. GCC is a compiler command, and requires Command Line Tools to work, so if they’re not installed OSX will prompt you to install it. If you’re using any version after Mavericks just type the following in Terminal: $ gcc This can be a little tricky depending upon which version of OSX you’re using.
#Gem install jekyll version mac#
If you’re on a Mac you’ll also need Xcode Command Line Tools. It can be a bit of a pain to setup, but once installed making sure you have the latest version is as easy as typing the following into Terminal (where ‘2.2.3’ is the latest version number): $ rvm install 2.2.3 One of the easiest ways to ensure you’re using the right version of Ruby is to use RVM, a Ruby version manager. You’ll also need the latest versions of Ruby and Ruby Gems. I’ve never tried it, but you can read more about the process here if you’re interested. According to Jekyll you can get Jekyll to run on Windows, it just requires some work. As Jekyll is a Ruby app it helps if you’re on a Unix, Linux, or OS X system. Let’s explore those dependencies and talk about the process of getting started with Jekyll.įirst, let’s cover what you’ll need to have installed before you can run Jekyll. There are a number of dependencies and requirements you have to satisfy before installing and using Jekyll. Getting started with Jekyll is relatively simple, although perhaps not quite as simple as their documentation would have you believe.
