Ruby Gems is a wonderful new packaging scheme for Ruby. Read more about it at http://rubygems.rubyforge.org/

_moved from ActiveRecord Wiki_

\RubyGems is a clever, useful, and working package manager for Ruby.  ActiveRecord can be installed over the Internet using it.

1. Download and install \RubyGems "here":http://rubygems.rubyforge.org.

2. (as of rubygems 0.8.1) *[sudo] gem install rails*

If you were using older rubygems release do:

1. *[sudo] gem install rubygems-update*
2. *[sudo] update_rubygems*

Now you should have a working release - type 

"gem  --version"


to confirm.
