jekyll: Unable to install with --pre under Ubuntu: Asks for Ruby >= 2.0.0 when it’s 2.2.0

Although I have Ruby 2.2 installed, the installation of Jekyll 3.0.0.beta is aborted due to the required ruby version being 2.0.0.

philipp@RAUMBASIS:~$ git --version
git version 2.3.2
philipp@RAUMBASIS:~$ sudo gem cleanup

drop the sudo and try: gem install jekyll --pre - when you run with sudo it goes to system ruby so you would need to check sudo ruby -v and sudo gem -v
