Update RubyGems to the latest version (how to upgrade the gem command)

 / Published in: Ruby
 

URL: http://oddlyzen.com

This command tells RubyGems to upgrade itself to the latest version of RubyGems.

Updated 2010 on modern RubyGems, all you have to do is 

 gem update --system

and you are set. Then you can say gem update to get the latest versions of installed gems.

The rest of this post will be left intact for historical purposes.

If you were going to read the documentation…

…then remove --no-rdoc and/or --no-ri.

If you also want to update all installed gems…

…then just say sudo gem update
