how can I install gem from source on local machine?

Question

I have downloaded a gem source from a private repository to my local machine, how can I install it from the source?

You can just point :git to your local, like: ` gem 'redcarpet', :git => '/home/user/library' ` — Luís Bianchin, Mar 03 '15 at 00:18
@LuísBianchin I did that it yells that it is a directory ! gem 'lucymar', :git => '/home/mark/git/lucymar/' bash: /home/mark/git/lucymar/: Is a directory — MarkY, Mar 03 '15 at 00:38
Another way you can do is ` gem install /full/path/to/your.gem `. Source: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/220176/how-can-i-install-a-local-gem — Luís Bianchin, Mar 03 '15 at 00:49

if you have the full source code no need to use :git notation, just go to to folder and do

gem build GEMNAME.gemspec
gem install gemname-version.gem
