How to start Jekyll with an already downloaded theme

Question

Hey there, guys. I downloaded Jekyll and its dependencies and managed to create a new blog giving a jekyll new novodoblog, but now I downloaded a theme and wanted to create a new blog from it. I gave a jekyll serve but made that mistake:

  Dependency Error: Yikes! It looks like you don't have jekyll-paginate or one of its dependencies installed. In order to use Jekyll as currently configured, you'll need to install this gem. The full error message from Ruby is: 'cannot load such file -- jekyll-paginate' If you run into trouble, you can find helpful resources at https://jekyllrb.com/help/! 

And I have no idea how to fix it. How can I start a new blog from an already downloaded theme? Or if not, how can I solve this problem?

From now on, thank you!

Answer 1

In the terminal, go to the blog directory and run bundle install to install all Jekyll dependencies. If it still doesn’t work, directly install the jekyll-paginate with gem install jekyll-paginate.

If you are modifying your project by installing a new theme do not forget to modify the Gemfile changing the name/version of the old theme by the new.
