Hi Akhil,
I tried your script by including the versions for the gems and it is not allowing.
Have you got an updated script which allows the version as well.

On UNIX box, you could just save list of your gems into text file and do this:

cat ruby_requirements.txt | xargs gem install

I tried it and it seems to work properly.

Hi there, simply changed into aware of your blog thru Google, and found that it is really informative. I’m going to watch out for brussels. I’ll be grateful if you happen to continue this in future. A lot of other people can be benefited out of your writing. Cheers!

Thanks for the script. Saved me a lot of time. Though didn’t work well for libxml-ruby, mysql, and rmagick but that was due to missing dependencies on my server.
