Fail to use jekyll on Win 11

[junjiag]

What problems are you experiencing?

jekyll -v failed when after installation

Steps to reproduce

Installation via RubyInstaller (https://jekyllrb.com/docs/installation/windows/) Download and install a Ruby+Devkit version from RubyInstaller Downloads. Use default options for installation. Run the ridk install step on the last stage of the installation wizard. This is needed for installing gems with native extensions. You can find additional information regarding this in the RubyInstaller Documentation Open a new command prompt window from the start menu, so that changes to the PATH environment variable becomes effective. Install Jekyll and Bundler using gem install jekyll bundler Check if Jekyll has been installed properly: jekyll -v (FAILED)

What's the output from ridk version?

ruby: path: C:/Ruby30-x64 version: 3.0.2 platform: x64-mingw32 cc: gcc.exe (Rev5, Built by MSYS2 project) 10.3.0 ruby_installer: package_version: 3.0.2-1 git_commit: 80c9ca9 msys2: path: C:\msys64 sh: GNU bash, version 4.4.23(1)-release (x86_64-pc-msys) os: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.22000.318]

One of Jekyll's 'indirect' dependencies is EventMachine. That gem cannot be normally installed on Windows Ruby 3.0 due to a problem with the most recent EventMachine release. You may be able to install it from the GitHub repo, or I could provide a gem that could be downloaded and installed locally.

This isn't a RubyInstaller2 issue...

Can you please provide me the gem which is available for Jekyll installation?

@junjiag You need to post the commands and the outputs in order to get any useful help. Is jekyll still a problem?

Hi @larskanis - here is what I tried on Windows 10 because I do not have Windows 11 yet. Some lines are removed from the jeyll install for brevity.

$ ruby -v
ruby 3.0.3p157 (2021-11-24 revision 3fb7d2cadc) [x64-mingw32]

$ gem install jekyll

Thereafter, I was able to do:

$ jekyll -v
jekyll 4.2.1

Since we have no feedback from @junjiag on this, I would recommend we keep it open for a few more days to see if anyone replies, especially if they have Windows 11 (though I think the issue is not really related to Windows 11) and if we don't hear back, we close this.

Thank you @mohits for trying this out! Closing now.
