I am trying to install ruby-mp3info.
I have the following URL from which I can access the gem in my browser:
http://bitbucket.org/moumar/ruby-mp3info/src/
I would like to specify this source while running gem install ruby-mp3info
When I run gem install ruby-mp3info --source=http://bitbucket.org/moumar/ruby-mp3info/src, though, I get a message back claiming this is not a repository. How do I find repositories?

Thanks!

    Gem repositories must follow some special requirements. An URI is not necessary a repository.
    Actually, there are only a few public repositories such as:

    • RubyGems (which now powers also GemCutter.org and RubyForge.org legacy indexes, see qrush’s comment)
    • GitHub (no longer active on new gems)

    If you want to install ruby-mp3info, just enter

    $ gem install ruby-mp3info

    The Gem is already hosted on the standard Gem repository (Gemcutter/RubyGems).

    $ gem search ruby-mp3info -r

*** REMOTE GEMS ***

ruby-mp3info (0.6.13)

    If for whatever reason you need the latest build, then install it from source.
    Download the code, enter the project root and type

    $ ruby install.rb config
$ ruby install.rb setup
$ ruby install.rb install
