I am trying to install jekyll on a 32 bit windows 7 PC . I downloaded ruby installer-32 bit and 32 bit devkit and extracted un ruby install folder.i got some ssh error which i resolved by temporarily switching to http instead of https and then updated gems as well as installed bundler using
gem install bundler
however gem install jekyll gives following error

You need to install the Ruby DevKit to fix the error you're seeing. Any sane Ruby install has the ability to build stuff on the fly.
I would start with Julian Thilo's awesome instructions for installing Jekyll on Windows:
Run Jekyll on Windows
If you are installing Ruby only for the purpose of running Jekyll, PortableJekyll will give you a full working Jekyll install in < 5 minutes.
Happy Jekylling...
I tried the same thing on 3 systems and found out that installing ruby gems fixed the issue .. so for anyone coming back at this question , this is how you install jekyll on a windows pc:
1.download and install ruby.
2.download devkit extract in to a folder(preferably inside ruby installation dir) and type in cmd window while in your devkit dir :
ruby dk.rb init
ruby dk.rb install
3.download and install gems by
ruby setup.rb
4. finally :
gem install bundler
gem install jekyll
*bundler is a jekyll dependency
I had the same issue on Windows 10 after installing Ruby+Devkit 2.5.X (x64) with the Windows installer.
The reason was that I changed the default path in the installer and had spaces in the path name. Apparently some make scripts do not like that.
Reinstalling to a path without any spaces fixed the issue.
Also see this related issue on github.
I failed to install "gem install jekyll bundler" when ruby was installed in "c:\program files\Ruby26-x64". After I reinstalled ruby on c:\Ruby26-x64 everything went ok. Seems like installation fails to parse path with blank

what i do is:
1. install ruby, path variable was set, version: ruby 2.5.1p57 (2018-03-29 revision 63029) [x64-mingw32].
2. install rubygems, version: 2.7.7.
3. install MSYS2.
4. install jekyll, gem install jekyll, then the above error occurs and i'm not sure the reason.
i have tried to install devkit and it not works, i think my ruby version is 2.5+, so don't need devkit and i have uninstalled it.
Anyone could help me?
Although they made the Ruby+DevKit an "optional" download for the RubyInstaller on Windows, if you plan to install gems, it is practically a necessity. A large percentage of the most popular gems are C extension that will need built on your machine when being installed.
The DevKit is a handy toolchain that supplies everything you need for this to be done, automatically without you needed to do anything more than type gem install XXXXX. Without it, you either cannot use C extension gems, or must have already installed MSYS and MingW, have them configured properly, which is all not a user-friendly experience, even for those who familiar with the process.
So even if DevKit is optional, it is still required to make the most of Ruby on Windows.
Solution re-install ruby with rubyinstaller-devkit-2.5.5-1-x64
and issue
gem install bundler
gem install jekyll
I got the same error message. It turned out that the culprit was the ffi gem. I got it to work using this solution.
I had the same issue. I was able to resolve it (in Windows 11 x64) via:
winget install -e --id RubyInstallerTeam.RubyWithDevKit
(I.e., reinstall Ruby with the DevKit)
So I attempted to install Jekyll on Windows through Cygwin and I encountered an error when I tried to install Jekyll through Cygwin. Here is the output.

I conducted some research online and I wasn't able to find a solution. I tried running Cygwin as an administrator and I still got that error message.
What can I do to fix this issue?
I had the same issue when installing Jekyll and Ruby in the Windows 10 Bash Linux Subsystem. It turned out, that the development package from Ruby was missing. I had to install it first:
sudo apt-get install ruby2.4-dev
In my case. Try to install the dev package in Cygwin package manager, in your case its version 2.3.
Andy
For the record, I encountered the same problem Michael did, and installing the ruby-devel package (using the Cygwin Setup installer) solved my problem. A missing *-devel Cygwin package is a common cause of errors about missing header files.
I am trying to install gem json and getting error for json.
I'm running:

Its a late response, but may it helps someone else. to install json '1.8.3' it requires packages 'libgmp3-dev'.
Use following steps:
sudo apt-get install libgmp3-dev
gem install json -v '1.8.3'
For anyone who has this issue on Sierra, I solved the problem through this thread: https://teamtreehouse.com/community/installing-ruby-on-mac-got-error
Coles notes version is that after updating to most recent version of XCode, I had to accept the terms for the XCode command line tools. See them/agree to them by running:
gcc --version
After I did that, everything installed as expected.
To help you here are some steps to follow in order to install your gem locally:
Download json-1.8.3.
Place the downloaded gem into a folder called gems
Open the Ruby cmd console (click on start button, select Ruby then select "Start command prompt with Ruby")
cd to the gems folder. If the path to the folder is C:\Desktop\gems, write the command: cd C:\Desktop\gems then click "Enter".
To install the gem run the following command:
gem install --local json-1.8.3.gem
I tried it and it worked for me, hopefully it will work for you.
Result:
Second way:
Include the whole path of the gem in the command:
gem install --local C:\Users\kedarl\Desktop\T\json-1.8.2.gem
For me here is the result. (This time with the json-1.8.2.gem):
I've solved this by installing Command Line Tools Xcode of the version I have. I hope this helps someone else.
If you installed Rails through RailsInstaller, try this -
https://gist.github.com/luislavena/f064211759ee0f806c88
It's a pretty common bug for RailsInstaller currently.
I was installing Sproutcore while installation I was facing issue saying that "Error installing Sproutecore: The 'http_parser.rb' native gem requires installed build tools. Please update your PATH to include build tool...".
Check below screenshot of my command prompt.
I thought this error generate because I didn't set ruby path in environment variable but after setting up path I am facing same error. Please advise.
I follow this link to install sproutcore.
Install This DevKit:
https://github.com/downloads/oneclick/rubyinstaller/DevKit-tdm-32-4.5.2-20111229-1559-sfx.exe
after installation go to devkit dir and run this following command
ruby dk.rb init
ruby dk.rb install
gem install rdiscount --platform=ruby
I'm having an issue with running Jekyll on windows 7. When I run

I get the following error

Installing RDoc documentation for RedCloth-4.2.8...
Can anyone enlighten me?
I followed the instructions here and that fixed my problem.
After gem install RedCloth run redcloth.bat from \Ruby\bin (replace \Ruby\ with the Ruby installation dir).
If it complains about not finding the path 1.9/redcloth_scan then do the following:
Create a dir named 1.9 in \Ruby\lib\ruby\gems\1.9.1\gems\RedCloth-4.2.8\ext
Copy everything from \Ruby\lib\ruby\gems\1.9.1\gems\RedCloth-4.2.8\ext\redcloth_scan in the 1.9 folder just created.
Try uninstalling the gems and reinstalling them. RedCloth first and then Textile so that it makes sure to see RedCloth.
(I'm new to ruby, so that may not even make sense, but it seems like it's worth a shot.)
Try download and reinstall the latest ruby ,then follow this instruction, good luck!
