First make sure to remove everything that may already be installed on your system:Īpplications that are not installed, APT will inform you that it does not exist, as well as, directories that do not exist rm will warn you that it does not exist, so do not panic :O sudo apt remove ruby bundler jekyll -purge rm -rf ~/.gem ~/.ruby ~/.rvm.

Jekyll’s settings “have been similar to the Stock Exchange, change constantly”, as it is a modern application and is still under development, so changes are in full swing =). In other words, both rbenv and RVM are more suitable ways to avoid “headaches” related to permission problems, in addition to avoiding configuration problems. However, the documentation procedure is informed for general cases, but it also suggests specific cases: “… or third party tools (rbenv and RVM).” via.

To install Jekyll you will first need Ruby installed on your system, for example, on Ubuntu, Debian, Mint and the like, you can use the package manager according to the official Ruby documentation, including for other distributions: https: / /Remembering that, as presented in the documentation, it will install several extra packages, including rubygems-integration for the gem command which is a package manager for applications written in Ruby (RubyGems) and will also serve to install the Bundler, which is a dependency manager. Jekyll is the mechanism behind the pages of GitHub, a feature of GitHub that allows users to host websites based on their GitHub repositories for free. Written in Ruby and created by Tom Preston-Werner, co-founder of GitHub, it is distributed under the open source MIT license.
