How do I install a RubyGem from NetBeans that I created?

Question

Is it possible to install a RubyGem that I created in NetBeans, through NetBeans without uploading it to RubyForge?

Answer 1

From here:

gem install will install the named gem. It will attempt a local installation (i.e. a .gem file in the current directory), and if that fails, it will attempt to download and install the most recent version of the gem you want.

So, you should be able to just run gem from the directory with your .gem file.

Answer 2

Looks like there is currently no way to do this. Just have to do the normal way and install your gem from the command line.
