Fix Error
recently, I’ve installed jekyll and set my jekyll blog in the new Mac. however, after installing jekyll, when I installed the plugins with gem install command, I got an error and couldn’t install them. I searched and knew some plugins use Java. after installing Java, I could install successfully. if you got an error when you install the plugins, check Java is installed.
