Cannot install jekyll on MacOS

[PJOssenbruggen]

The Output I Wanted

Establish a GitHub Pages website using jekyll.

• [x ] I updated to the latest Jekyll (or) if on GitHub Pages to the latest github-pages
• [ x] I read the CONTRIBUTION file at https://jekyllrb.com/docs/contributing/
• [x ] I am on macOS 10+
• [x ] I was trying to install.

My Reproduction Steps

My approach is trial and error. Originally, I received the following error several times: (Gem::FilePermissionError) For example,

<PJO:~ PJO$ gem install jekyll bundler>

ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::FilePermissionError)
You don't have write permissions for the /Library/Ruby/Gems/2.3.0 directory.

Next, I tried several different approaches, including rubyonrails, without success. Now, I am using Xcode version 9.3, ruby 2.5.1, and gem 2.7.6.
This approach looks promising. Now, my error is: (Errno::EACCES) . This error appears to be associated with rubyonrails. I searched the web and found people had difficulty removing rubyonrails.

Note that t successfully performed several installations where above I did not.

<PJO:~ PJO$ gem install jekyll>

Fetching: public_suffix-3.0.2.gem (100%)

Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Errno::EACCES)

<PJO:~ PJO$ gem install jekyll>

It appears that I close to a solution: Remove rubyonrails.

I would appreciate help.
Thanks

Try running with sudo permissions:
$ sudo gem install jekyll bundler

Thanks @posadaj

It works! After resolving a few dependency issues, http://localhost:4000 was displayed.

Now, I will take the next baby step in setting up a GitHub Page site.

Thanks to all,
Paul
