RubyGems is a package management framework for Ruby.

This gem is an update for the RubyGems software. You must have an
installation of RubyGems before this update can be applied.

See Gem for information on RubyGems (or ri Gem)

To upgrade to the latest RubyGems, run:

$ gem update --system # you might need to be an administrator or root

See UPGRADING.rdoc for more details and alternative instructions.

If you don’t have RubyGems installed, you can still do it manually:

For more details and other options, see:

ruby setup.rb --help

Changes:

RubyGems 2.0 includes several new features and many breaking changes.
Some of
these changes will cause existing software to break. These changes are
a
result of improvements to the internals of RubyGems that make it more
maintainable and improve APIs for RubyGems users.

If you are using bundler be sure to install a 1.3.0.prerelease version
or
newer. Older versions of bundler will not work with RubyGems 2.0.

Changes since RubyGems 1.8.25 (including past pre-releases):

  • Breaking changes:

    • Deprecated Gem.unresolved_deps in favor of
      Gem::Specification.unresolved_deps
    • Merged Gem::Builder into Gem::Package. Use Gem::Package.build(spec)
      instead of Gem::Builder.new(spec).build
    • Merged Gem::Format into Gem::Package. Use Gem::Package.new instead
      of Gem::Format.from_file_by_path
    • Moved Gem::OldFormat to Gem::package::Old. Gem::Package will
      automatically detect old gems for you, so there is no need to refer
      to it.
    • Removed Gem::DocManager, replaced by Gem::RDoc and done_installing
      hook
    • Removed Gem::package::TarInput in favor of Gem::Package
    • Removed Gem::package::TarOutput in favor of Gem::Package
    • Removed Gem::RemoteFetcher#open_uri_or_path. (steveklabnik)

    • A gem can have arbitrary metadata through
      Gem::Specification#metadata
    • gem search now defaults to --remote and is anchored like gem list.
      Fixes
      #166
    • Added --document to replace --rdoc and --ri. Use --no-document to
      disable
      documentation, --document=rdoc to only generate rdoc.
    • Only ri-format documentation is generated by default.
    • gem server uses RDoc::Servlet from RDoc 4.0 to generate HTML
      documentation.
    • Add ability to install gems directly from a compatible gemdep
      file (Gemfile, Isolate, gem.deps.rb)
      gem install --file path
    • Add ability to load gem activation information from a gemdeps
      file (Gemfile, Isolate, gem.deps.rb).
      Set RUBYGEMS_GEMDEPS=path to have it loaded. Use - as the path
      to autodetect (current and parent directories are searched).

  • Minor enhancements:

    • Added gem check --doctor to clean up after failed uninstallation.
