Download RubyGems v3.1.1 - December 16, 2019
RubyGems is a package management framework for Ruby. Download the latest version here:
Or, to upgrade to the latest RubyGems:
$ gem update --system # may need to be administrator or root
NOTE: RubyGems 1.1 and 1.2 have problems upgrading when there is no rubygems-update installed. You will need to use the following instructions if you see Nothing to update
. If you have an older version of RubyGems installed, then you can still do it in two steps:
$ gem install rubygems-update # again, might need to be admin/root
$ update_rubygems # ... here too
If you don't have any RubyGems installed, there is still the pre-gem approach to getting software, doing it manually:
- Download from above
- Unpack into a directory and
cd
there - Install with:
ruby setup.rb
(you may need admin/root privilege)
For more details and other options, see:
ruby setup.rb --help
