## Install Command Line Tools
First, you need to install the command-line tools to be able to compile native extensions, open a terminal and run:
```sh
xcode-select --install
```
## Install Ruby
Jekyll requires **Ruby > {{ site.data.ruby.min_version }}**.
macOS Catalina 10.15 comes with ruby 2.6.3, so you're fine.
If you're running a previous macOS system, you'll have to install a newer version of Ruby.
### With Homebrew {#brew}
To run the latest Ruby version you need to install it through [Homebrew](https://brew.sh).
```sh
# Install Homebrew
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
brew install ruby
```
Add the brew ruby path to your shell config:
```bash
echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/ruby/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile
```
Then relaunch your terminal and check your updated Ruby setup:
```sh
which ruby
# /usr/local/opt/ruby/bin/ruby
ruby -v
{{ site.data.ruby.current_version_output }}
```
Yay, we are now running current stable Ruby!
### With rbenv {#rbenv}
People often use [rbenv](https://github.com/rbenv/rbenv) to manage multiple
Ruby versions. This is very useful when you need to be able to run a given Ruby version on a project.
```sh
# Install Homebrew
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
# Install rbenv and ruby-build
brew install rbenv
# Set up rbenv integration with your shell
rbenv init
# Check your installation
curl -fsSL https://github.com/rbenv/rbenv-installer/raw/master/bin/rbenv-doctor | bash
```
Restart your terminal for changes to take effect.
Now you can install the Ruby version of our choice, let's go with current latest stable Ruby:
```sh
rbenv install {{ site.data.ruby.current_version }}
rbenv global {{ site.data.ruby.current_version }}
ruby -v
{{ site.data.ruby.current_version_output }}
```
That's it! Head over [rbenv command references](https://github.com/rbenv/rbenv#command-reference) to learn how to use different versions of Ruby in your projects.
## Install Jekyll
Now all that is left is installing [Bundler]({{ '/docs/ruby-101/#bundler' | relative_url }}) and Jekyll.
### Local Install
```sh
gem install --user-install bundler jekyll
```
and then get your Ruby version using
```sh
ruby -v
{{ site.data.ruby.current_version_output }}
```
Then append your path file with the following, replacing the `X.X` with the first two digits of your Ruby version.
```bash
echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.gem/ruby/X.X.0/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile
```
To check that your gem paths point to your home directory run:
```sh
gem env
```
And check that `GEM PATHS:` points to a path in your home directory.
{: .note .info}
Every time you update Ruby to a version with a different first two digits, you will need to update your path to match.
### Global Install
{: .note .warning}
We strongly recommend against installing Ruby gems globally to avoid file permissions problems and using `sudo`.
#### On Mojave (10.14)
Because of SIP Protections in Mojave, you must run:
```sh
sudo gem install bundler
sudo gem install -n /usr/local/bin/ jekyll
```
#### Before Mojave (<10.14)
You only have to run:
```sh
sudo gem install bundler jekyll
```
