MacOS Mojave Installation Issue

I’m having an issue working with Jekyll on MacOS Mojave 10.14.6. I’ve followed the directions in the documentation, and have installed bundler v 2.1.4 successfully. I am running:

ruby -v
ruby 2.7.1p83 (2020-03-31 revision a0c7c23c9c) [x86_64-darwin18]

~/.bash_profile includes:

export PATH="/usr/local/opt/ruby/bin:$PATH"
export GEM_HOME=$HOME/gems
export GEM_PATH="$HOME/.gem/ruby/2.7.0/bin"
export PATH="$HOME/.gem/ruby/2.7.0/bin:$PATH"

The process I am following:

gem install --user-install jekyll

which jekyll
/Users/aleedom/.gem/ruby/2.7.0/bin/jekyll

My specific issue is that the system can’t find the gem file:

jekyll -v
Traceback (most recent call last):

xcode-select and headers have both been installed. I’m new to Ruby, FWIW.

I don’t really know how all this works, especially on a mac,but this is usually because you have ruby installed more than once. Looks like you have it at usr/local/Cellar in edition to Users/aleedom?

I would uninstall ruby, then check to see if it is installed again before re-installing it.

Also, next time post the full output from the error, sometimes there is stuff above the error that helps - like it may show it trying to use ruby from somewhere else.
