I DID IT! I
was having problems with proxies and getting that gook when
clicking the download link. I right clicked the link, Save Target
As, Changed type to 'All Files" and changed .htm to .gem.</p>
<p>I then moved the file to my Ruby Installation directory and used
this command to install. gem install \path\to\my\file\mynew.gem</p>
<p>It worked! However, it doesn't seem to handle obtaining and
installing dependencies so when/if it errors you have to come back
to rubygems.org and get the dependency... and sometimes that has
dependecies and so on and so forth</p></div>AWStag:help.rubygems.org,2010-01-19:Comment/299684362013-11-19T19:12:25Z2013-11-19T19:12:25ZBasic Gem 101 - Downloading a Gem?<div><p>You can use <code>gem install -i ~/tmp/gems</code> then take the
~/tmp/cache directory to another machine for installation. All the
necessary dependencies will be there.</p></div>Eric Hodeltag:help.rubygems.org,2010-01-19:Comment/299684362013-11-19T21:20:43Z2013-11-19T21:20:43ZBasic Gem 101 - Downloading a Gem?<div><p>Good job. Yeah, sorry I guess I should of updated my thread.
Yes, changing the .ext does indeed work. But what I found was
opening Firefox and doing the download worked successfully. I guess
IE doesn't recognize the .gem extension as a download and just
tried to save it as an html page. Firefox seems to recognize the
download. Anyway, it works.</p></div>toddwozny
