This question is specific to capistrano, but it’s a general gem question too.
I have to download and then install gems – no remote connection available.
I went to github and downloaded capistrano as tarball.
I get the file thoughtbot-capistrano-d1229b2.tar.gz
To install do I now…
– rename the tarball with a .gem extension and run
gem install thoughtbot-capistrano-d1229b2.gem
just untar it to my local gem directory?
something else?
Thanks
You need to build the tarbal using whatever mechanism is provided, in the case of (capistrano-capistrano) this is jeweler, so you can probably do
rake gem:buildand have a gem you can install withgem install ./capistrano-2.5.10.gem– since you are using thoughtbot-capistrano… all bets are off, their fork is way out of date.
