Fedora 21 - Gem: change EXECUTABLE DIRECTORY
You can try
$ export GEM_HOME = ~/.gem
This will change your gem executable directory into ~/.gem/bin
You can confirm that by run $ gem env
again
If that works you can make it permanent by adding export GEM_HOME=$HOME/.gem
at the end of file .bashrc or .zshrc
Hope that help!
If your intention was to install gems' executables into ~/.gem/bin
, you can set in ~/.gemrc
:
gem:
--bindir ~/.gem/bin
# any other gem settings like:
--no-ri --no-rdoc
It will NOT change EXECUTABLE DIRECTORY
, but gems' executables will be installed into ~/.gem/bin
. You can check it is set by:
$ gem env
- GEM CONFIGURATION:
- "gem" => "--bindir ~/.gem/bin --no-ri --no-rdoc"
To be able to invoke them, add that directory at the beginning of your PATH
.
