Can't create a new/test site w/Jekyll

When I get to the stage of jekyll new awesome-site it is throwing this error.

jekyll new awesome-site

I’ve tried searching around for an answer and haven’t been able to find one. Thanks. :slight_smile:

Give that line’s advice a try:

bundle exec jekyll new awesome-site

No dice.

bundle exec jekyll new awesome-site

I’ll keep digging around the forum and internet. Thanks for the help @mmistakes :slight_smile:

Maybe try gem update bundler then gem update jekyll to make sure you’re on the latest.

Other than that it’s probably some issue with your Ruby environment. Which is always the most painful thing about getting Jekyll up and running.

Yeah, it’s looking to be my Ruby environment. Now to take the weekend (hopefully not) to figure it out and clean it up. Thanks.

This worked and I was able to create the test site with jekyll if anyone needs any ideas if they run into the same issues I did…

bundle add jekyll

I made an account just to thank you for figuring it out! Nothing else worked for me! Thanks for taking one for the team!
