You can edit your local copy of jekyll-3.8.2 and patch it if you want.. From the root of your jekyll site's source-directory, find the path to your jekyll gem installation by running bundle show jekyll. Open the resulting path in your explorer if the directory doesn't open automatically. Edit jekyll-3.8.2/lib/jekyll/utils/platform.rb by replacing the proc_version method with the following: def proc_version @proc_version ||= begin Pathutil.new( "/proc/version" ).read rescue Errno::ENOENT, Errno::EACCES nil end end
