Jekyll not running - "bad interpreter: No such file or directory"

Hi. I had the same troubles with Catalina some months ago.

I documented my solution here. In particular see the Ruby link that has a Catalina guide. And then follow the Jekyll “user” guide (this avoids sudo)

# Install Jekyll


### 1. Install Ruby

Install or upgrade [Ruby](https://github.com/MichaelCurrin/learn-to-code/blob/master/en/topics/scripting_languages/Ruby/README.md#install-and-upgrade).


### 2. Update shell config

Update your shell config file (`.bashrc` or `.zshrc`), such that the `~/gems/` directory is accessible for your user from anywhere.

For example:

```sh
export GEM_PATH="$HOME/.gem/ruby/2.6.0/bin"
export PATH="$GEM_PATH:$PATH"
```

Then reload your terminal or start a new tab.
