ruby 1.8.5 (2006-08-25) [x86_64-linux]

How I can install gems? I want to install gems. I am able to run all
ruby scripts like test.rb.

Please help me out.

Thanks!

Checkout rubygems.org find a gem you want to install and do

gem install gem-name

so

gem install rails

as an example. You might need to use sudo so

sudo gem install rails.

1.) Download a copy of RubyGems’ .tgz release from
http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=126&release_id=46225
2.) Extract someplace convenient.
3.) run “ruby setup.rb” in the directory you extracted RubyGems to.
This step likely needs root permissions.
4.) Verify RubyGems is installed with “gem -v” (or so).

P.S.: IIRC, 1.8.5 and 1.8.6 are EOL, with only 1.8.7 receiving
(security) patches for a few more years, so you should upgrade to
1.8.7 at least, and 1.9.2 (which includes RubyGems!) if possible.

and even prove, that following that method we shall attain our aim.

Well, you’ll have to try different releases of RubyGems until you find
one that works with Ruby 1.8.5. It’d be be better if you could somehow
upgrade to 1.8.7 at a minimum, though.

I’d recommend installing ruby 1.8.7 as well. If the installation is
successful, gems should be installed with it.

I tried many but 1.3.0 looks like installed but gave some error
also…

Depends on your operating system, really.

Debian based: aptitude (or apt-get) are your best bet, RHEL/Suse and
derivatives usually use yum, while many Rubyists on *NIX like to use
rvm.beginrescueend.com to manage Ruby installs (and their gems).

if you’re on windows, use the ruby-installer

Actually - some people still use 1.8.6 for 1.8 features and some use
1.8.7
which is in-between 1.8 and 1.9 and then 1.9 users probably mostly use
1.9.2.
