Installing Jekyll on OS XRevisionas of Sunday, 20 December 2015 at 19:56 UTC

  • Install Xcode
  • Run Xcode, go to Preferences
    • Sign-in under “Accounts”
    • Tab over to “Downloads” and click the teeny arrow for “Command
      Line Tools”
  • Once installed, install Homebrew

 ruby -e "$(curl -fsSkL raw.github.com/mxcl/homebrew/go)"

  • Then install the Ruby Version Manager1

 curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --ruby

  • Source the RVM:

 source /usr/local/rvm/scripts/rvm

  • Install Jekyll

 gem install jekyll

  • Test. I did it by running jekyll serve from a
    Bootstrap download2.
