How to Install a Gem

Hello, and welcome to How To Install A Gem. My name is André Arko, and I go by @indirect on all the internet services. You might know me from being 1/3 of the team that shipped Bundler 1.0, or perhaps the 10+ years I spent trying to keep RubyGems.org up and running for everyone to use. More recently, I’ve been working on new projects: rv, a CLI to install Ruby versions and gems at unprecedented speeds, and gem.coop, a community gem server designed from the ground up so Bundler and rv can install gems faster and more securely than ever before. So, with that introduction out of the way, let’s get started: do you know how to install a gem? Okay, that’s great! You can come up and give this talk instead of me. I’ll just sit over here while you write the rest of this post.
