Steps:

  1. Install Ruby at the user level.
    • Follow this Ruby install guide, in particular follow that to set PATH on Linux and macOS shell config (.bashrc or .zshrc), otherwise you can't run gems. That guide has been updated to cover macOS Catalina setup too.
    • If your OS is not covered there, follow the Ruby website's Installation guide.
  2. Install Bundler at the user level.
    $ gem install bundler --user-install
  3. Install Jekyll at the user level.
    $ gem install jekyll --user-install
