How to find out where your ruby and ruby on rails gems are installed on OS X

Posted on 20 January 2008

To find out where your ruby and ruby on rails gems are installed just type:

gem env gemp

and if you want to jump straight to that directory just type:

cd `gem env gemp`

Note those are back ticks, not quotes.

Try ‘gem env’ instead to get all gem environment variables. ‘gem env gemp’ doesn’ work, at least in 1.3.4
