Question

Yesterday I tried to install rspec gem on a system which was not connected to internet, so this is what I did-

I downloaded the gem for rspec using the command gem install rspec and on command prompt its showing 5 gem inside the package – (system with internet conn)

diff-lcs-1.1.3, rspec-2.12.0, rspec-core-2.12.2, rspec-expectations-2.12.1, rspec-mocks-2.12.2

I copied the 5 folders from this location –

C:\RailsInstaller\Ruby1.9.3\lib\ruby\gems\1.9.1\gems

and pasted in the same path9system without internet connection),

when I updated the gem file with gem 'rspec' (computer without the internet connection) and restarted the server its still showing error.

I need to know if there is something else that updated during the installation which i am missing?

What other parts I need to add to make this rspec working on a computer without having internet connection.

PS- New to rails :)

To cache the gems execute bundle cache and it will save all the gem in vendor/cache directory.

When you you execute bundle install, it will use the cached gems.
