Install jekyll-import with –pre for now
Software
Updating to the latest version of Jekyll, I got the following error when attempting to migrate a WXR file:
You must install the 'jekyll-import' gem before continuing. * Do this by running `gem install jekyll-import`. * Or if you need root privileges, run `sudo gem install jekyll-import`.
Sure enough, along with an entirely new site, Jekyll now uses importers instead of migrators, which reside in their own gem. Unfortunately, attempting to install this resulted in a new error.
ready % gem install jekyll-import ERROR: Could not find a valid gem 'jekyll-import' (>= 0) in any repository ERROR: Possible alternatives: jekyll-ebook, jekyll-epub, jekyll-reposter, module-import
It turns out that jekyll-import is still technically in beta, so needs to be installed thusly:
ready % gem install jekyll-import --pre
At the time of writing, this works in my bog standard RubyGems environment on Mac OS X 10.8.3, with the following dependencies and docs installed:
