that’s a very good question! and all i know is that while trying to do it as advised everywhere, like in here: [https://wiki.termux.com/wiki/Jekyll](https://wiki.termux.com/wiki/Jekyll) i can only get the same error, always: [https://github.com/termux/termux-packages/issues/2340](https://github.com/termux/termux-packages/issues/2340) would appreciate an easier solution, which won’t keep breaking so much in the near future, as well! ---

trying it again today on a new device… using termux 0.94 from fdroid. everything in the wiki works! that’s 90% of the good news… now for the bad news, trying to clone my repository for actually working on it was still (as usual with \*nix) a nightmare! nokogiri, html-pipeline and libxml2 dependencies hell!! this were the key commands missing from every guide i’ve found: ``` gem install pkg-config pkg install libxslt ``` and these were easy enough to find from the error messages, as a few instances: ``` pkg upgrade bundle update html-pipeline ``` only to find that `bundle exec jekyll serve` is broken due to some neglected jekyll bug that i could only fix with this ridiculous manual patch: [https://github.com/jekyll/jekyll/issues/7045#issuecomment-394071569](https://github.com/jekyll/jekyll/issues/7045#issuecomment-394071569) which also requires [termux storage access](https://wiki.termux.com/wiki/Internal_and_external_storage) and isn’t so trivial. that completes the sad and bad news. just about 4 hours to figure all out that last 10% of good news: ir works also with github-pages! and if you also don’t have a physical keyboard, knowing a few extra tricks can help a lot: [https://www.tecmint.com/linux-command-line-bash-shortcut-keys/amp/](https://www.tecmint.com/linux-command-line-bash-shortcut-keys/amp/) enough for me today. ---

it’s amazing how i keep getting back to this… here’s yet more steps that can help fixing issues with this installation: > > > I installed all dependencies as specified here. However, I encountered the following problems > $ gem install jekyll > Building native extensions. This could take... there are many commands there that can be helpful, but here i want to briefly talk about `sed`: `sed -i '/def proc_version/!{s/ENOENT/ENOENT, Errno::EACCES/}' /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/lib/ruby/gems/2.7.0/gems/jekyll-3.9.0/lib/jekyll/utils/platforms.rb` be sure to update the folder according to your environment. probably `jekyll-3.9.0` will be a different version, for instance. in any case, this is specially useful for the error i got today (yet again): `/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/lib/ruby/gems/2.7.0/gems/pathutil-0.16.2/lib/pathutil.rb:502:in 'read': Permission denied @ rb_sysopen - /proc/version (Errno::EACCES)` although it does generate, instead, a **warning** which will need good care sooner than later: `/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/lib/ruby/gems/2.7.0/gems/pathutil-0.16.2/lib/pathutil.rb:502: warning: Using the last argument as keyword parameters is deprecated` i’ve got no idea for how long it’ll continue to work as a deprecated usage, but let’s just enjoy it while it works! 😁
