GemInstaller

GemInstaller provides automated management of RubyGems.

FEATURES: GemInstaller provides automated management of RubyGems. It uses a simple YAML config file to:

  • Automatically install the correct versions of all required gems wherever your app runs.
  • Automatically ensure installed gems and versions are consistent across multiple applications, machines, platforms, and environments
  • Automatically add correct versions of gems to the ruby load path when your app runs (‘require_gem’/’gem’)
  • Automatically reinstall missing dependency gems
  • Automatically guess at correct platform to install for multi-platform gems
  • Print YAML for “rogue gems” which are not specified in the current config, to easily bootstrap your config file, or find gems that were manually installed without GemInstaller.
  • Avoid the “works on demo, broken on production” syndrome
