  • Command `ruby -v` showed version 2.6 (default macOS version), causing issues with some Ruby commands.
  • Used `which -a ruby` to identify incorrect Ruby directory in terminal.
  • Installed Jekyll gems after correcting Ruby directory.

  • `pip` commands not detected, `python --version` showed 2.7 despite installing version 3.11.4.
  • Followed guidance from Mr. Mortensen, ran `activate_macos.sh` script to fix Python and pip issue.
  • Successful in obtaining correct Python version and getting `pip` commands to work.
• Ran `bundle install` and `make` to begin editing website.
