Don’t know if I did the right things but jekyll is now running on my MBP :-)
I had previously installed some other stuff for installing mosquito and don’t know if it might have lessened some of the pain. I got the same permissions problem, so I installed as root $ sudo gem install jekyll When I went to run jekyll it complained about redcarpet. It didn’t appear to be installed: $ gem list redcarpet I installed redcarpet and jekyll seems to work now - I could “cd site; jekyll serve .” and the URL worked. $ sudo gem install redcarpet Hope that helps. — Dale > On Apr 5, 2016, at 4:21 PM, Susan Cline <[email protected]> wrote: > > When I try to install Jekyll I get this: > > Susans-MBP-247:~ susancline$ gem install jekyll > ERROR: While executing gem ...
