Hello friends  
my query is instead of installing rubygem like “rmagick, etc” can we  
dump into our application folder so while uploading the application on  
server we don’t have to install or verify for the gem or the version…  
is it possible???

thanks

Yes you can:

You need to install Rick O’s gem\_plugin and then drop all gems under  
vendor
