+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, the simplest way to get up and running
+is to install Homebrew and then use it to set up Ruby. This can be done as
+follows:
 
 {% highlight bash %}
-sudo emerge -av dev-ruby/rubygems
+ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

+Advanced users (with more complex needs) may find it helpful to choose one of a
+number of Ruby version managers ([RVM][], [rbenv][], [chruby][], [etc][].) in
+which to install Jekyll.

+[RVM]: https://rvm.io

+If you elect to use one of the above methods to install Ruby, it might be
+necessary to modify your `$PATH` variable using the following command:
+
+{% highlight bash %}
+export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH
+{% endhighlight %}
+
+GUI apps can modify the `$PATH` as follows:
+
+{% highlight bash %}
+launchctl setenv PATH "/usr/local/bin:$PATH"
+{% endhighlight %}
+
+Either of these approaches are useful because `/usr/local` is considered a
+"safe" location on systems which have SIP enabled, they avoid potential
+conflicts with the version of Ruby included by Apple, and it keeps Jekyll and
+its dependencies in a sandboxed environment. This also has the added
+benefit of not requiring `sudo` when you want to add or remove a gem.
