title: "using Jekyll on tilde.town, circa 7th July 2020"

Running *jekyll -v*, on the command line, resulted in the following
message:
> -bash: /usr/local/bin/jekyll: /usr/bin/ruby2.5: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
After some research, I found that I could run the following command:
*/usr/bin/jekyll -v*
which resulted in the following message:
> jekyll 3.8.6
I hope this post saves someone else some time.

Besides the above, I also made changes to my .bashrc , before Jekyll could work.
If you find it helpful, you may add the following two lines to your file located
at ~/.bashrc :
export GEM_HOME=/home/your_username/gems
export PATH="/home/your_username/gems:$PATH"
Replace your_username (in the above two lines) with your user-name, of course.
