How to use RubyTorrent? (or other gems)

Question

I was reading the book Ruby Cookbook by O'Reilly, and it has a section on RubyTorrent

But if I do the following on Win 7:

> gem install rubytorrent
> irb
irb(main):001:0> require 'rubytorrent'
LoadError: no such file to load -- rubytorrent
        from (irb):6:in `require'
        from (irb):6

I looked and found that C:\Ruby\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\gems\rubytorrent-0.3 does exist and gem list also shows the rubytorrent gem... tried in Ubuntu and it is the same thing. Does any one knows in this case, how to proceed?

Answer 1

You spelled rubytorrent wrong :)

You first need to require rubygems.

require 'rubygems'
require 'rubytorrent'

And then follow the documentation on RubyTorrent
