This answer is not related to Jekyll, but I'm adding it here because I got a similar error when I ran > gem install bundler .

Message I saw: bundler's executable "bundle" conflicts with C:/Ruby25-x64/bin/bundle Overwrite the executable? (I chose 'n'.)

As ashmaroli wrote above, the conflict meant I already had Bundler installed.

How to check if Bundler is installed: > bundler --version

If it returns a version, it's installed. Bundler version 1.17.3 is what I get when I run that command.

The action I took: I chose not to overwrite the executable. I just needed Bundler installed and didn't realize that it was already.

In my case, I have to overwrite both /usr/local/bin/bundle and /usr/local/bin/bundler in order to successfully installed bundler-1.16.6. Otherwise, when running jekyll new websitedir, an error with the following message occurs.

Bundler: ruby: No such file or directory -- /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.5.0/gems/bundler-1.16.1/exe/bundle (LoadError)

In most cases, I think it is safe to overwrite. But it is always good to check what you are actually overwriting. For example, running ls -alh /usr/local/bin/bundle in the terminal gives us the following output. Thus, it is safe to overwrite.

/usr/local/bin/bundle -> ../Cellar/ruby/2.5.1/libexec/gembin/bundle
