Ruby – Gem Command not found

linuxrubyrubygems

I have installed gem on Ubuntu 10.10 32 bit with

apt-get install gem -y

But when I try to run

gem install something.gem

I get the error of the command not being found.

bash: gem: command not found

I installed gem, is there any reason it is saying it can't find the command?

These files were install by gem package

Try the following:

sudo apt-get install rubygems

You just add the following line to your local ~/.gemrc file (it is in your home folder):

gem: --no-document

or you can add this line to the global gemrc config file.

Here is how to find it (in Linux):

strace gem source 2>&1 | grep gemrc

The --no-document option is documented in the RubyGems CLI Reference.

If -prune doesn't work for you, this will:

find -name "*.js" -not -path "./directory/*"

Caveat: requires traversing all of the unwanted directories.
