Unless you’re not using Bundler, you very rarely need to run
gem install ...at all, actually.More often than not, unless you’re using different Rubies for each of your projects, all of your gems live in folders that get shared across all of the projects that use them. If you’re using
rvmyou can see this directory by runningrvm gemdir.When you use Bundler, it will automatically handle loading the appropriate version of the gem in the (likely) case that you have several versions installed.
