Jekyll - command not found

I am trying to get Jekyll running but I have no experience with Ruby.
As far as I can tell the installation of Jekyll has succeeded.
However:

$ jekyll

Gives an error:

-bash: jekyll: command not found

This is the gem env result:

  - RUBYGEMS VERSION: 1.3.4
  - RUBY VERSION: 1.8.7 (2010-01-10 patchlevel 249) [universal-darwin10.0]
  - INSTALLATION DIRECTORY: /Volumes/HDD/DADU/gems
  - RUBY EXECUTABLE: /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/bin/ruby
  - EXECUTABLE DIRECTORY: /Volumes/HDD/DADU/gems/bin
  - RUBYGEMS PLATFORMS:
    - ruby
    - universal-darwin-10
  - GEM PATHS:
     - /Volumes/HDD/DADU/gems
     - /Volumes/HDD/DADU/.gem/ruby/1.8
     - /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8
     - /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8
  - GEM CONFIGURATION:
     - :update_sources => true
     - :verbose => true
     - :benchmark => false
     - :backtrace => false
     - :bulk_threshold => 1000
  - REMOTE SOURCES:
     - http://gems.rubyforge.org/

And I found the following paths leading to "something" Jekyll:

  • ~.gem/ruby/1.8/gems/jekyll-0.11.0/lib/jekyll.rb
  • ~.gem/ruby/1.8/gems/bin/jekyll (exec file)

If you are using MacOS, from the Troubleshooting guide:

Jekyll & Mac OS X 10.11Permalink

With the introduction of System Integrity Protection, several directories that were previously writable are now considered system locations and are no longer available. Given these changes, there are a couple of simple ways to get up and running. One option is to change the location where the gem will be installed (again, using sudo only if necessary):

$ gem install -n /usr/local/bin jekyll
