R - servr::jekyll() build error

Question

I am trying to use jekyll with knitr as proposed here

https://github.com/yihui/knitr-jekyll

When I try to use the R function (through R Studio)

servr::jekyll()

I get an error

sh: jekyll: command not found
Error in jekyll_build() : Failed to run: jekyll build

There is no problem when building the github example, it works fine. I have no idea where the error could come from.

I work on a mac OS X Yosemite.

Any clue ?

You can pass the full path of the executable jekyll to the servr::jekyll() function (which can be found via which jekyll in the terminal), e.g.

servr::jekyll(command = '/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.1/wrappers/jekyll build')
