Motivation

Jekyll installation on Windows 11 with Ruby 3.3 on an Azure pipeline began failing after Azure deprecated a previous version of ruby.

The failure would manifest with the following error:

> gem install jekyll bundler
ERROR: Error installing jekyll: 
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

Suggestion

The following sequence of installs and updates works for me:

gem install bundler
bundle init
bundle update --bundler
bundle install --retry=3 --jobs=4
gem install jekyll

My understanding of ruby and its ecosystem is limited, so I imagine there's either a terse way to do all this or some other means of getting it to work.
