Usage

Ruby 1.8.7 is installed as part of the SuSE Linux operating system. In addition there is a module for version 1.9.3. To load run: 
module load ruby/1.9.3
With the module version, you may install any gems you wish. They will be placed in your home directory within the .gem folder. As an example, here is bundler being installed within my home directory: 
$ gem install bundler
Fetching: bundler-1.1.4.gem (100%)
Successfully installed bundler-1.1.4
1 gem installed
Installing ri documentation for bundler-1.1.4...
Installing RDoc documentation for bundler-1.1.4...
$ ls ~/.gem/ruby/1.9.1/gems/
bundler-1.1.4
The location of these gems can be changed using the GEM_HOME and GEM_PATH environment variables. The module sets these variables for you. They can be changed and gems will installed wherever they are set to. However, the best way to manage gems is using Bundler.
