jekyll keeps throwing up errors locally

Question

So ive started working on my jekyll site locally but i cant build or serve it has it keeps throwing up these errors first it said i had no github api so i asked around and they said install jekyll-github-meta and that lead on to loads of other errors. but the trouble is i keep having to remove important parts like this error

Liquid Exception: Invalid syntax for include tag. File contains invalid characters or sequences: Valid syntax: {% include file.ext param='value' param2='value' %} in /Users/Julie/Documents/GitHub/foamey/_layouts/posts.html

but if i change it from {{ include {{ site.nav }} }} to the local link it will be broken when i upload it heres the link to the repo if you want to see the files

jekyll build -t

could you please run jekyll build -t to get some more information here? — deveth0

Thanks for the update. I just tried to build the project and it works fine for me.

I noticed that you are usign Jeykll 3.2.1 and not the current version used by Github Page (3.3.1): https://pages.github.com/versions/

Try to run gem update jekyll and see, if this helps.
