You must have an +installation of RubyGems before this update can be applied. + +See Gem for information on RubyGems (or `ri Gem`) + +To upgrade to the latest RubyGems, run: + + $ gem install --system # you might need to be an administrator or root + +NOTE: RubyGems 1.1 and 1.2 have problems upgrading when there is no +rubygems-update installed. You will need to use the following instructions +if you see "Nothing to update". + +If you have an older version of RubyGems installed, then you can still +do it in two steps: + + $ gem install rubygems-update # again, might need to be admin/root + $ update_rubygems # ... here too + +If you don't have any RubyGems install, there is still the pre-gem approach to +getting software, doing it manually: + +1. Download from: http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=126 +2. Unpack into a directory and cd there +3. Install with: ruby setup.rb # you may need admin/root privilege + +For more details and other options, see: + + ruby setup.rb --help + |
