Published 2011-07-20 @ 17:49

The sandbox plugin for rubygems helps you manage your command-line tools and their dependencies. Sandboxed gems are installed in their own private rubygem repositories with all of their dependencies. This means that you don’t have to have a rat’s nest of gems in your global repository in order to run popular command-tools like rdoc, flog, flay, rcov, etc.

gem sandbox has the following sub-commands:

Once you install gem sandbox will output something like:

  Copy the following scripts to any directory in your path to use them:
  
  cp /Users/USER/.gem/sandboxes/GEM/bin/TOOL _in_your_$PATH_

Copy the scripts to a directory in your path (eg ~/bin or /usr/bin) and you’re good to go.
