May 15, 2011Upgrade Redmine
May 15, 2011If you want to install some previous version of RubyGem or for what ever reason, want to install RubyGem from source, perform following steps
- Login to your server using putty
- Go to RubyForge and copy the URL of RubyGem of your choice (e.g RubyGem-1.4.2)
-
Download it to your server using the following command
wget http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/73882/rubygems-1.4.2.tgz -
Uncompress your RubyGem archive using the following command
tar -xvf rubygems-1.4.2.tgz - cd rubygems-1.4.2
- ruby setup.rb –no-format-executable
Note that you need to run these commands as super/root user otherwise you'll get an error on step 6.
