You should have installed `ridk` when installing Ruby.
Enable it for current terminal window by running:
```auto
ridk enable
```
If you didn’t install the program, _try installing it by:_
```auto
ridk install
```
If that fails, you may need to re-install Ruby and ensure that you run `ridk install` as the final step of installing.
Then retry installing jekyll:
```auto
gem install jekyll
```

hi ashmaroli, i try your solution, but it don’t work.
i also try to re-install Ruby, and it still error.
there are three option when i use
`ridk install`
and i input
`1,2,3`
is it right?
1 - MSYS2 base installation
2 - MSYS2 system update (optional)
3 - MSYS2 and MINGW development toolchain

I’m still puzzling through this myself, but this guide seems helpful. TL;DR looks like installing the Chocolatey packet manager first is a must.
