I did install chruby using brew which is easily done. However, I cant/fail to input

```auto
echo "source $(brew --prefix)/opt/chruby/share/chruby/chruby.sh" >> ~/.zshrc
echo "source $(brew --prefix)/opt/chruby/share/chruby/auto.sh" >> ~/.zshrc
echo "chruby ruby-3.1.1" >> ~/.zshrc

```

and keep on getting an error. I believe this need to be implemented on `fish.config` ?

Anyone can help?

I just ran into the same issue. Here’s how to solve it:

You have to change things around a bit for Fish. First, you can’t use chruby from homebrew, because it uses `.sh` scripts which don’t play nice inside `config.fish`. This is what you need to do:

```bash
brew install chruby-fish ruby-install

echo "source "(brew --prefix)"/Cellar/chruby-fish/0.8.2/share/chruby/chruby.fish" >> ~/.config/fish/config.fish
echo "source "(brew --prefix)"/Cellar/chruby-fish/0.8.2/share/chruby/auto.fish" >> ~/.config/fish/config.fish
echo "chruby ruby-3.1.2" >> ~/.config/fish/config.fish

source ~/.config/fish/config.fish

```

> NOTE: The version of Ruby is newer than that’s in the Jekyll docs. The one that homebrew installed for me was `3.1.2`. You can find out for sure by running `chruby`.

For a newer version of chruby-fish the location of these files changed, I changed it to

```auto
brew install chruby-fish ruby-install

echo "source "(brew --prefix)"/Cellar/chruby-fish/1.0.0/share/fish/vendor_functions.d/chruby.fish" >> ~/.config/fish/config.fish
echo "source "(brew --prefix)"/Cellar/chruby-fish/1.0.0/share/fish/vendor_conf.d/chruby_auto.fish" >> ~/.config/fish/config.fish
echo "chruby ruby-3.1.3" >> ~/.config/fish/config.fish

source ~/.config/fish/config.fish

```

ruby-3.1.3 being the version that is now recommended in the Jekyll docs
