I am trying to install Ruby + WATIR to a Windows server which is in an isolated environment. Typically I would run the ruby installer followed by these two commands:
1) gem update –system
2) gem install watir
This is as per the instuctions here
The server I am now trying to install to does not have internet connectivity. This causes the commands above to fail.
Is there a way I can download the update packages required and copy them to the server to install locally?
When you do gem install it will search the current directory before looking to the remote source. You must specify the version if you are installing a local gem (see rubygems manual).
I’m sorry, I don’t know a way to update the gem system offline without doing a manual upgrade
