   Can you try Windows command shell?

   This may be an issue with RubyGems. Can you post:

   • output from gem env using a bash shell?
   • contents of C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\jekyll

   I noticed some problems locally, but I have a 'unique' windows setup.

   You probably installed in multi-user-mode. This can make gem installs more difficult. Unless you really want to work with multiple users, you should install in single user mode.

   See https://github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller2/wiki/FAQ#user-content-install-mode

   @MSP-Greg, the gem env:
   RubyGems Environment:

   I managed to fully uninstall Ruby, and to install it for the user, as @larskanis suggested. Now jekyll is in ruby gems:
   $ where jekyll
   C:\RubyGems\bin\jekyll
   C:\RubyGems\bin\jekyll.bat

   But I still get this output:
   $ jekyll -v
   /c/RubyGems/bin/jekyll: line 6: /c/RubyGems/bin/ruby: No such file or directory

   It is worth noting that if I run jekyll via Ruby it works:
   $ ruby -S jekyll -v
   jekyll 4.3.4

   Also $ ruby -S jekyll serve works
