Post says it all.
I've cloned a gem (particularly radiant) after clone it from its github source. Anybody tell me how I can install it as a gem?
Something like "gem install radiant --local"?
Thanks,
Joe

A:
Go to the dir of your cloned repo and run this:
$ rake build
This will create gem file in pkg dir. Then just run
$ sudo gem install pkg/built-gem-0.0.1.gem

This will only work if there is a Rake task for building the gem. If there is no rake task, but there is a `.gemspec` file, you can use `$ gem build <name>.gemspec`.
