Octopress document.

When I run

bundle install

Answer 1

My ubuntu 12.04 solution is install the ruby1.9.1-full version, that can resolve this issue.

sudo apt-get install ruby1.9.1-full

you can execute command:

sudo update-alternatives --config ruby

to select the altiernative ruby which you have installed. and then, execute below commands to finish the octopress deploy:

git clone https://github.com/erizhang/octopress.git octopress
cd octopress/
sudo gem install bundler
sudo gem install RedCloth -v '4.2.9'
bundle install
rake install

below commands you can find from octopress deploy guideline page:

rake setup_github_pages
sudo rake setup_github_pages
sudo rake generate
sudo rake deploy

Hope it's helpful for you, thanks
