I have searched through the slack forums and nothing seems to be working for my instance!
A little background; I am working with a Angular1, Heroku-Postgresql, Nodejs, Ruby&Rails application. Previously developed by someone else and has been passed down to me.
When I run in Windows Powershell
heroku rake db:migrate -a [app]
my console returns
Running rake db:migrate on [app]... up, run.7474 (Free) bash: rake: command not found
I have tried "heroku run rake db:migrate", does not work.
Installed bash on ubuntu on windows, added appropriate gem files, heroku, etc. created a symbolic link sudo ln -s /var/lib/gems/1.8/bin/rake
& still get bash: rake: command not found
Tried to run rake inside the heroku bash shell, and still get 'not found'.
Updated gemfiles, ruby files, added ruby bin to my environment variables.
So what gives? I am not familiar with Bash Ubuntu. Any guidance on what steps to take/try would be tremendous help.
You're running that command on heroku platform.
And, as seen on documentation, you should run your command as
heroku run rake db:migrate -a [appname]
My guess would be that you have something in some script that tries to execute rake.
You can use the --trace argument to see the detailed execution.
Today i just want to setup a jekyll Blog on my Mac, and have already install ruby 2.3.0, but when make '$ jekyll serve', it's error. and show this in terminal:
Error information:
Unknown ruby interpreter version (do not know how to handle): RUBY_VERSION.
So it looks like
bundle exec jekyll new
will create the a Gemfile with the line
ruby RUBY_VERSION
I believe you'll want to edit that file to be e.g.
ruby '2.1.1'
Coincidentally today I am also trying to setup Jekyll and am seeing the same problem. I am using RVM and it otherwise works fine (running multiple Rails dev sites locally). When I run env | grep 'RUBY' I get:
$ env | grep 'RUBY'
MY_RUBY_HOME=/Users/myusername/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.0.0-p247
RUBY_VERSION=ruby-2.0.0-p247
However, I just continued and ran bundle install, then bundle exec jekyll serve and the site booted up without issue.
Seems like there is no variable RUBY_VERSION in your env.
Try in your shell: env | grep 'RUBY'
Output should be like this:
RUBY_VERSION=ruby-2.3.0
If you don't see anything, you need to reinstall ruby.
Use RVM or other ruby version manager. Here is a good manual
I used to have ruby '~> 2.6.3' in Gemfile and got same warning.
I changed it to ruby '2.6.3' and it fixed it.
I know that there are closely related question to mine but they did not help me.
I'm learning the whole rails, gem, git, heroku concept and liking it a lot.
When I issued heroku command line actions (Ubuntu linux) I received warnings that the gem was deprecated and I should install the toolbelt.
I ran the full wget install of the tool belt:
wget -qO- https://toolbelt.heroku.com/install-ubuntu.sh | sh
But now when I use the heroku command line I still get the deprecated warning.
I suspect I have to get rid of the heroku gem but I'm not sure how to do that ? I want to be sure to do it correctly so it's not later loaded again via bundler.
Thank you.
The uninstall command will remove any gem. In this case, you want to use the following:
gem uninstall heroku
I had issues getting Toolbelt to work. I am running OSX so my solution may not work for your Ubuntu linux setup. I still thought I might share just in case. Here are the steps I used to get it to work:
Remove the heroku gem by running gem uninstall heroku. It did ask if I wanted to remove executables: heroku. Be sure to choose yes.
Go to [https://toolbelt.heroku.com/][1] and download / install the Toolbelt app.
On the Toolbelt page it mentioned that /usr/local/heroku/bin will be added to your PATH. I was not seeing this and was not sure if it is becuase I am running zsh instead of bash. I went ahead and opened my .zshrc file and added it to my PATH.
You probably just need to relaunch your shell.
This worked for me: (be sure to choose yes when it ask if you want to remove executable: heroku)
gem uninstall heroku --all

I am trying to get Jekyll running but I have no experience with Ruby.
As far as I can tell the installation of Jekyll has succeeded.
However:
$ jekyll
Gives an error:
-bash: jekyll: command not found
This is the gem env result:

And I found the following paths leading to "something" Jekyll:
~.gem/ruby/1.8/gems/jekyll-0.11.0/lib/jekyll.rb
~.gem/ruby/1.8/gems/bin/jekyll (exec file)
If you are using MacOS, from the Troubleshooting guide:
Jekyll & Mac OS X 10.11Permalink
With the introduction of System Integrity Protection, several directories that were previously writable are now considered system locations and are no longer available. Given these changes, there are a couple of simple ways to get up and running. One option is to change the location where the gem will be installed (again, using sudo only if necessary):
$ gem install -n /usr/local/bin jekyll
For others coming here with the following set up:
OS X + brewed install of ruby + (possibly) zsh
I figured the problem is that after installing jekyll as per their instructions, gem installs the jekyll gem in the brew cellar, not where the OS usually expects it (somehwere in a gem directory for ruby).
So, all that was needed here was to find out where the brew install of ruby installs gems, locate the jekyll binary, and create a symbolic link to it in /usr/bin.
Here is are the steps I took to fix it:
Type gem env and look for GEM PATHS. For me it was:
/usr/local/Cellar/ruby/1.9.3-p194/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1.
Make sure you can see the jekyll binary in the directory from 1 above and copy its path (if you can't, search any other paths listed in GEM PATHS for it). For me it was:
/usr/local/Cellar/ruby/1.9.3-p194/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/jekyll-1.4.3/bin/jekyll
Use the path from step 2 above to create a symlink to /usr/bin/jekyll. I did it by typing this (you might need sudo to create the symlink):
cd /usr/bin && ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/ruby/1.9.3-p194/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/jekyll-1.4.3/bin/jekyll jekyll
Now all should be merry if you type jekyll.
The easiest method of doing this is to use RVM. It manages Ruby and all its gems for you and it's easy to use. See this link for using it.
If you did not want to use that you will need to modify your PATH variables so it can find your gems. I have found this to be tedious and reverted to RVM, but here are the general steps.
You will need to find out where your gems are getting installed. If you did gem install ... the gems will be in ~/.gem/ruby/1.8/gems/bin, if you used sudo gem install ... the gems will be somewhere in /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/Resources
You have to add this path to your PATH variable. Easiest way to do this is by running :
echo 'PATH=$PATH:above/path/to/gems' >> ~/.bash_profile
If you are using RBENV instead of RVM you simply need to run rehash in the command line after installing jekyll:
rbenv rehash
I installed my ruby2.6.0 and gem via brew on MacOS 10.14.
For me, add the following line to my ~/.zshrc solved this issue.
export PATH=/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.6.0/bin:$PATH
I found jekyll executable file with command locate jekyll.
Maybe a little late, but...
I had some trouble to install Jekyll on Ubuntu and tried everything that people answered in this thread - unfortunately nothing worked.
Then, I watched a video on Jekyll's site and after installing the whole ruby package again, sudo gem install jekyll worked.
Try it before anything else:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ruby-full
sudo gem install jekyll
jekyll -v
It seems pretty simple, but it works on Ubuntu.
One solution would be editing your ~/.bashrc file and add this line:
PATH=$PATH:~/.gem/ruby/1.8/gems/bin
This will add ~/.gem/ruby/1.8/gems/bin in Bash's lookup path.
Reopen the terminal and it should work. Or you can use the following command:
. ~/.bashrc
Following steps solved my problem
gem uninstall jekyll
sudo gem install jekyll
Open ~/.bash_profile and add this code in the last line,
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/jekyll-2.5.2/bin
Save and close the .bash_profile
Close and reopen the mac terminal, try running jekyll now, it should work
For me, I followed this installation guide instead of their main page's installation instruction. It worked after I changed the bash_profile file and restarted Terminal.
Jekyll is a ruby gem : Ruby gems in linux, for example, are in /var/lib/gems/1.8, as can be seen in the "ruby env" output.
Thus, you need to add the executables in this directory to your path.
In general, if a ruby gem is "not found" by your OS, it simply indicates that either
1) You don't have the gem installed or
2) You don't have the gem installed in a directory that is on your path.
I have found that there have been a few issues with installing ruby and ruby gems on linux (I have found that it can be tricky on Ubuntu v10, and have confirmed this with the Ruby folks on IRC). Thus, tools like RVM or rbenv might be the best approach to setting up a stable, maintainable ruby environment.
Easier than creating a symlink just install it correctly.
If you got permission errors like a lot of people are getting when trying to use
gem install jekyll
instead use
sudo gem install jekyll
#jayunit100,
I'm running into the same issue with a Jekyll blog. I've installed the gem via RVM in a 'Blog directory and the _config.yml file says that it should generate into Blog/_site. Is it as simple as adding Blog to the PATH or is there something else I'm missing?
Update: My bad, I didn't really have the gem installed. Lesson learned: rvm requirements and brew doctor are there for a reason - before you install stuff USE THEM
In my case I had to run bundle install --force
Then bundle exec jekyll serve works, but jekyll serve still doesn't. It seems I'll have to go with the former from now on…
When you use the --user-install option, RubyGems will install the gems to a directory inside your home directory, something like ~/.gem/ruby/1.9.1. The commands provided by the gems you installed will end up in ~/.gem/ruby/1.9.1/bin. For the programs installed there to be available for you, you need to add ~/.gem/ruby/1.9.1/bin to your PATH environment variable.
For example, if you use bash you can add that directory to your PATH by adding code like this to your ~/.bashrc file:
if which ruby >/dev/null && which gem >/dev/null; then
PATH="$(ruby -r rubygems -e 'puts Gem.user_dir')/bin:$PATH"
fi
https://guides.rubygems.org/faqs/#user-install
I put it in the .bash_profile (Mac OS X).

Here's an updated answer for 2020 (soon 2021). To install any Ruby gem, whether it's Jekyll, Bundler, Rails, etc., you need a proper Ruby development environment on a Mac. There are various ways to install Ruby on a Mac, as I have written about in great detail in my definitive guide to installing Ruby gems on a Mac. The only one I recommend is to use a Ruby manager because it's the most flexible and sets you up for success for the long term. My preferred one is chruby because it's the lightest and easiest to use. As part of installing Ruby, you also need to properly configure your shell startup file (typically ~/.zshrc or ~/.bash_profile) so that it knows where to find the gems you install. Otherwise, you'll get the "command not found" error, which I've also written about.
Since there are several steps involved in setting up a working Ruby development environment on a Mac, I wrote some scripts to automate the whole process and make things easier and faster for people. You can read more about the scripts in my guide mentioned above.
I had this problem for a very stupid reason, which is that I was working on Linux and had installed both flatpak and .deb versions of Visual Studio Code. I was confused because I could successfully run bundle exec jekyll serve in the terminal application, but not from the integrated terminal in Visual Studio Code.
Well, it turns out the integrated terminal loaded my PATH correctly in the .deb version but not the flatpak one. So... if you, like me, have foolishly installed multiple versions of Visual Studio Code, check which one you are using.
This is what worked for me. I'm not developing in ruby, and don't have a lot of tools that I use it for, so I don't need RVM. I also don't need to install jekyll as root. I just want it to run.
(This answer is just a more descriptive version of answers by Santa Zhang, jayunit100, and a few others.)
1. Find Local Gem Path
> gem env
Assuming this runs, it will list a bunch of useful information. You are looking for GEM PATHS. If there are two, then you want the one that is found in your home directory. Mine was something like /home/<user>/.local/share/gem/ruby/3.0.0
If it doesn't run, install the ruby gem program and try again.
2. Find Gem Binaries Path
Look in that directory until you find the location where the jekyll executable is actually installed. I found it in /home/<user>/.local/share/gem/ruby/3.0.0/bin/jekyll. But what I need is the directory path, not the file, so: /home/<user>/.local/share/gem/ruby/3.0.0/bin/.
3. Add That to PATH
Figure out how to add a directory to your PATH environment variable. Instructions for that are too extensive to provide here, as it depends on your operating system and preferred shell, and the versions of the same. Search for that information elsewhere on Stackoverflow.
4. Restart Your Session
Close your terminal and open a new one. Make sure the directory was added to your path. Depending on how you set your PATH variable, you might need to log out of your session and log in again.
I'm trying to run a ruby file which imports a gem. The ya2yaml gem is installed, yet somehow it is not found:
$ cat delme.rb
require 'rubygems'
require 'ya2yaml'
$ ruby delme.rb
/Library/Ruby/Site/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in `gem_original_require': no such file to load -- ya2yaml (LoadError)
from /Library/Ruby/Site/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in `require'
from delme.rb:2
I installed the gem using: sudo gem install ya2yaml and I know that the gem is actually installed:
$ gem list --local | grep ya2yaml
ya2yaml (0.26)
Also, the following works from a rails program I just downloaded:
sudo rake gems
However the following fails:rake gems
Which leads me to think that there may be a permissions problem somewhere.
Why can't the gem be found? What can I do to diagnose this?
Thanks!
The thing I would do in a situation like this:
Search for the gem's location on your system. Use this command:
find / -name ya2yaml
Check that the found directory is added to your PATH system variable by doing this:
echo $PATH
If the path where ya2yaml gem is located is not listed in the PATH variable's value, add it:
PATH=$PATH:/gem/location/directory
export PATH
I hope you'll find these steps helpful. Good luck!
Instead of require 'rubygems' inside delme.rb, try starting ruby with -rubygems:
$ ruby -rubygems delme.rb
I've certainly seen this error before. Unfortunately I don't know what causes it. I do know that if you see it on Linux and you've installed gem via your package manager (synaptic / yum / etc) then you can generally fix it by installing gem by hand from their website. The instructions there are pretty straight-forward.
(Your command line looks unix-y, so it seems to me that you may be on Linux. If you're on a Mac, it's certainly worth trying anyway.)
UPDATE: Linux, then. Ta.
