Topic: Jekyll on OSX
Grahame Grieve (Oct 07 2019 at 02:47):
I am trying to install Jekyll on OSX. I had thought it was easier than for windows, but apparently not. Ruby simply won't upgrade to 2.6. It keeps spontaineously reverting to 2.3. So presumably something is missing from the jekyll instructions?
Eric Haas (Oct 07 2019 at 02:49):
I have had no problems installing Jekyll on my system..
Eric Haas (Oct 07 2019 at 02:50):
I will need to what version I am running ...
Eric Haas (Oct 07 2019 at 02:51):
(venv37) Erics-Air-2:MyNotebooks ehaas$ ruby --version ruby 2.5.3p105 (2018-10-18 revision 65156) [x86_64-darwin16]
Grahame Grieve (Oct 07 2019 at 02:51):
well, this is me:
$ ruby -v ruby 2.3.7p456 (2018-03-28 revision 63024) [universal.x86_64-darwin18] $ brew install ruby Warning: ruby 2.6.5 is already installed and up-to-date $ ruby -v ruby 2.3.7p456 (2018-03-28 revision 63024) [universal.x86_64-darwin18]
Eric Haas (Oct 07 2019 at 02:51):
so I'll give it a go to 2.6 ...
Rob Hausam (Oct 07 2019 at 02:52):
I didn't have any particular trouble with it when I did it originally (but that was quite a while ago). I also helped Melva do it a while back.
Grahame Grieve (Oct 07 2019 at 02:53):
it just seems to me that something is missing from the instrutions - you have 2.6.3 installed which is what the system runs.
Rob Hausam (Oct 07 2019 at 02:53):
I'm currently on ruby 2.6.3p62.
Grahame Grieve (Oct 07 2019 at 02:53):
then you install the latest
Grahame Grieve (Oct 07 2019 at 02:53):
but you don't do anything to tell the system to use it, so it ignores it
Grahame Grieve (Oct 07 2019 at 02:53):
Jekyll requires 2.6.4+
Rob Hausam (Oct 07 2019 at 02:54):
jekyll is working for me on ruby 2.6.3p62
Rob Hausam (Oct 07 2019 at 02:54):
I have jekyll 3.8.5
Rob Hausam (Oct 07 2019 at 02:57):
(deleted)
Eric Haas (Oct 07 2019 at 03:06):
running brew upgrade ruby now...
Rob Hausam (Oct 07 2019 at 03:06):
the Jekyll site says Jekyll 4.x requires Ruby version > 2.4.0, and Jekyll >3.2 requires Ruby > 2.1
Grahame Grieve (Oct 07 2019 at 03:08):
I don't know how to install older versions of jekyll
Eric Haas (Oct 07 2019 at 03:10):
here is what happened to me ....
Erics-Air-2:~ ehaas$ ruby --version ruby 2.3.7p456 (2018-03-28 revision 63024) [universal.x86_64-darwin18]
Eric Haas (Oct 07 2019 at 03:10):
same as gg
Eric Haas (Oct 07 2019 at 03:11):
here is the output of the upgrade:
Error: The `brew link` step did not complete successfully The formula built, but is not symlinked into /usr/local Could not symlink bin/bundle Target /usr/local/bin/bundle already exists. You may want to remove it: rm '/usr/local/bin/bundle' To force the link and overwrite all conflicting files: brew link --overwrite ruby To list all files that would be deleted: brew link --overwrite --dry-run ruby Possible conflicting files are: /usr/local/bin/bundle /usr/local/bin/bundler ==> Caveats By default, binaries installed by gem will be placed into: /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.6.0/bin You may want to add this to your PATH. ruby is keg-only, which means it was not symlinked into /usr/local, because macOS already provides this software and installing another version in parallel can cause all kinds of trouble. If you need to have ruby first in your PATH run: echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/ruby/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile For compilers to find ruby you may need to set: export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/ruby/lib" export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/ruby/include" For pkg-config to find ruby you may need to set: export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/local/opt/ruby/lib/pkgconfig"
Rob Hausam (Oct 07 2019 at 03:13):
what do you get with 'which ruby'?
Eric Haas (Oct 07 2019 at 03:13):
Erics-Air-2:~ ehaas$ which ruby /usr/bin/ruby
Grahame Grieve (Oct 07 2019 at 03:14):
this is all crazy confusing. I get the same
Rob Hausam (Oct 07 2019 at 03:14):
ah - mine is /usr/local/opt/ruby/bin/ruby, which I believe is the brew version
Rob Hausam (Oct 07 2019 at 03:14):
I think you need to do what it says in the output above:
If you need to have ruby first in your PATH run:
echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/ruby/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile
Rob Hausam (Oct 07 2019 at 03:16):
as it says, you may want to force the link: brew link --overwrite ruby
Eric Haas (Oct 07 2019 at 03:17):
If you need to have this software first in your PATH instead consider running: echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/ruby/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile Erics-Air-2:~ ehaas$ echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/ruby/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile Erics-Air-2:~ ehaas$ ruby --version ruby 2.3.7p456 (2018-03-28 revision 63024) [universal.x86_64-darwin18] Erics-Air-2:~ ehaas$ which ruby /usr/bin/ruby Erics-Air-2:~ ehaas$
Eric Haas (Oct 07 2019 at 03:17):
did not seem to work
Rob Hausam (Oct 07 2019 at 03:18):
there's an issue with the version that osx has already installed - possibly the path override is all that you need at this point (I don't recall for sure now if I did the force link or not - but I'm thinking probably not)
Eric Haas (Oct 07 2019 at 03:18):
it did after restarting the terminal

Rob Hausam (Oct 07 2019 at 03:18):
yep
Rob Hausam (Oct 07 2019 at 03:18):
that should work
Eric Haas (Oct 07 2019 at 03:19):
lets see if Jekyll works too...
Grahame Grieve (Oct 07 2019 at 03:19):
wow that's obscure
Eric Haas (Oct 07 2019 at 03:23):
just as I suspected from last time I did this...

Need to update Jekyll too...
Rob Hausam (Oct 07 2019 at 03:37):
what jekyll version do you have?
Eric Haas (Oct 07 2019 at 03:42):
Just needed to update the gems following the Jekyll guidance here: https://jekyllrb.com/docs/installation/macos/
Eric Haas (Oct 07 2019 at 03:43):
Erics-Air-2:IG-Template2 ehaas$ Jekyll --version jekyll 4.0.0
Eric Haas (Oct 07 2019 at 03:44):
that was much less painful than the last time I updated ruby and Jekyll - that time took be about 1/2 a day. :-)
Grahame Grieve (Oct 07 2019 at 04:10):
well, Jekyll runs from the command line now, but not for the IGPublisher.
Grahame Grieve (Oct 07 2019 at 04:11):
I suppose that's because it doesn't pick up the modified path in the bash script
Rob Hausam (Oct 07 2019 at 04:12):
yes - so need to make sure that the path that the publisher (auto build?) is using also has it
Grahame Grieve (Oct 07 2019 at 04:15):
running from eclipse...
Rob Hausam (Oct 07 2019 at 04:16):
yeah - I'm sure will need to set it there
Grahame Grieve (Oct 07 2019 at 04:30):
set it where? Surely OSX has something like a system path where it can be set.
Rob Hausam (Oct 07 2019 at 04:33):
yes - it does - although I don't recall the best place to set that at the moment (a search should find the answer)
I think you could also do it in the Eclipse Java runtime environment (would also need to look up where to do that)
Grahame Grieve (Oct 07 2019 at 04:42):
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34022487/add-usr-local-bin-to-path-got-from-system-getenvpath-in-java-run-on-mac-os - looks like the answer involves some demented laughter on other people's parts. Unless - @James Agnew - you're our general java guru who uses osx... am I screwed at this point?
Rob Hausam (Oct 07 2019 at 04:45):
yeah - are you sure you can't set the runtime path within Eclipse?
I don't know if I've done that, but it seems like it should be doable
Grahame Grieve (Oct 07 2019 at 04:54):
yes i can do that
Patrick Werner (Oct 09 2019 at 11:10):
@Grahame Grieve you need to execute echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/ruby/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profileto add the path to the bash profile.
Patrick Werner (Oct 09 2019 at 11:11):
This won't work for Apps which aren't started through bash. If you want to set a path for GUI applications as well: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55648312/mac-os-x-mojave-set-environment-variable-permanently
Patrick Werner (Oct 09 2019 at 11:11):
The .plist answer is the right one
