Hi, I am working on an application which has around 70 gems installed. My problem is my coulig also wants to up the application. Is there any way to just import my gems to his machine? and application gets up and running, Otherwise he has to install all gems.

Can anyone help me out?

Thanks, Tushar

If you’ve used config.gem in your environment.rb file, it’s as simple as:

rake gem:install

If you haven’t I’d recommend going that route anyway rather than trying to copy files over, libraries for native gems (e.g. MySQL) may not be in the same place or the same version. It’s much safer to have your Rails app know it’s dependencies and be able to install them.

Cheers,
