Jekyll serve didn't work: It looks like you don't have pygments or one of its dependencies installed

Question

Configuration file: /Users/andrechristoga/Documents/type-theme/_config.yml
       Deprecation: You appear to have pagination turned on, but you haven't included the `jekyll-paginate` gem. Ensure you have `gems: [jekyll-paginate]` in your configuration file.

  Dependency Error: Yikes! It looks like you don't have pygments or one of its dependencies installed. In order to use Jekyll as currently configured, you'll need to install this gem. The full error message from Ruby is: 'cannot load such file -- pygments' If you run into trouble, you can find helpful resources at http://jekyllrb.com/help/! 
  Liquid Exception: pygments in /Users/andrechristoga/Documents/type-theme/_posts/2014-11-28-markdown-and-html.md

                    ------------------------------------
                    pygments

These are the message when I type jekyll serve.

Solution

I had the same issue but fixed it installing pygments gem.

gem install pygments.rb

And adding it to my Gemfile.

gem 'pygments.rb'
