I have ruby 2.1.6 and 2.1.7 installed on my PC (Win 7 x64 SP1) and I use uru to switch between them. They work fine.

I also have installed a few Jekyll versions: 2.4.0, 2.5.3, 3.0.2 and 3.1.1. I work with some jekyll projects with no trouble at all.

Now, in order to reproduce a very specific website, I need to create a jekyll new project with a Jekyll specific version.

  • I tried running uru 216 -> jekyll -v 2.4.0 new project and didn't work. The terminal response is jekyll 3.1.1.

  • I also tried jekyll new project -v 2.4.0 and didn't work either - the response was new.

Is there a way of doing that?

Or the only way is running jekyll new project then adding a Gemfile specifying the jekyll version, as in:

Gemfile:

source "https://rubygems.org"

gem 'jekyll', '2.4.0'

Then running bundle install and serving jekyll with Bundler via bundle exec jekyll serve?

Or perhaps I'll need to install a third ruby version (like 2.1.8) with just jekyll 2.4.0 to be able to do that?

I know about RVM and it seems it would do the job, but as far as I know I can't use it because it doesn't work on Win.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Create your Gemfile with whatever jekyll version in it

bundle install

bundle exec jekyll new . --force

. means the current folder and --force will create a new jekyll even if the folder is not empty
