What I like most about Hugo over Jekyll is the simple install process that Hugo provides. It’s just an executable package and available in Homebrew. Jekyll, on the other hand, is based on Ruby so it requires a working Ruby environment to function, and that can be a real pain in the @$$.

My Intel MacBook, like all Macs, comes with a pre-installed and insufficent Ruby that must be kept, but also overridden with a newer version. This is an all too common problem with Macs and built-in tools.

Fortunately, I found my Ruby and Jekyll install solution documented at Jekyll on macOS.

After the Ruby and Jekyll install I had to bundle install --path vendor/bundle in order to resume my quest to get Jekyll working. Yup, this is way too involved. Time for a Hugo version of CollectionBuilder? Perhaps.
