Use the Normal Upgrade Method below. (finally!)
Use the Normal Upgrade Recipe below.
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”.
Use the Manual Upgrade Recipe below.
Use the Normal Upgrade Recipe below.
Use sudo/su as appropriate:
$ gem install rubygems-update -v 1.3.7 $ update_rubygems
Replace 1.3.7 with whatever version you want to downgrade to. This recipe can also be used to upgrade to a specific version instead of the latest.
Do make sure that you don’t have any other versions of rubygems-update installed when you run the second command.
Use sudo/su as appropriate:
$ ruby --disable-gems -S gem which rubygems ~/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p136/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems.rb $ rm ~/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p136/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems.rb $ rm -rf ~/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p136/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems $ gem -v 1.3.7
Use sudo/su as appropriate:
$ gem update --system
If you have an older version of RubyGems installed, then you can still do it in two steps:
Use sudo/su as appropriate:
$ gem install rubygems-update $ update_rubygems
If you don’t have any RubyGems install, there is still the pre-gem approach to getting software, doing it manually:
Use sudo/su as appropriate:
-
Download from: rubygems.org/pages/download
-
Unpack into a directory and cd there
-
Install with: ruby setup.rb
