I have to install several gem files on a machine that does NOT have an internet connection. To do this, I imported the packages from a machine that is connected to the internet and copied the files to the offline machine. I followed this guide for the installation, but it is deprecated. In fact, the result is as follows:
gem install --force --local *.gem
ERROR: Could not find a valid gem '*.gem' (>= 0) in any repository
My question is: how can I install these 20/30 different gems without internet? Is there another way?
Thank you!
Update:
I tried again folder by folder to install the gems, first with "gem build" and then "gem install".
The result:
WARNING: Unable to pull data from 'https://rubygems.org/': Errno::ENETUNREACH: Failed to open TCP connection to rubygems.org:443 (Network is unreachable - connect(2) for "rubygems.org" port 443) (https://rubygems.org/specs.4.8.gz)
1 gem installed
Could be a proxy problem?
Found the solution.
Basically 2 Problems:
If i wanted to install the gems from the gem folder, i had first to run the build and after the install.
But i could also install the gems placed inside the cache folder, and inside this folder run directly "gem install --force --local".
Thank you all of you for your answers.
I just installed ruby version 2.3.0p0 using the ruby installer for windows and was trying to install bundler. When I run gem install bundler I get the following error:
Could not find a valid gem 'bundler' (>=0), here is why
Unable to download data from (link removed) rubygems -Errno:ETIMEDOUT:
Failed to open TCP connection to api.rubygems.org:443 (A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond. -connect(2) for "api.rubygems.org" port 443)(https://api.rubygems.org/specs.4.8.gz)
Some research led me to try running gem install --http-proxy http://[user]:[password]#[server]:[port] which i think might work because I am behind a proxy here and a similiar solution helped me clone a git repository earlier.
But when i tried this command I got the following error:
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem:CommandLineError)
Please Specify at least one gem name (e.g. gem build GEMNAME)
UPDATE
So I tried that gem install --http-proxy.... command again with the gem name at the end and I am back to getting the original TCP connection error above. I am pretty sure the login information I entered is correct. I also added --source http://... instead of the https one but still am having the same problem?
1st off your error is pretty telling-
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem:CommandLineError) Please Specify
at least one gem name (e.g. gem build GEMNAME)
2nd make sure you have met the requirements for what you're trying to do http://bundler.io/
then run the code..
gem install bundler
bundle init
echo 'gem "rspec"' >> Gemfile
bundle install
bundle exec rspec
In 2023, the best way to install bundler on an old version of Ruby is:
gem update --system
RubyGems and Bundler now ship together, so to get the latest bundler, you should just install the latest RubyGems.
would you try disable ipv6, it had been worked for me
I am new to vagrant.
I have installed virtualbox and vagrant(1.7.4) and then follow the book type
$> vagrant plugin install vagrant-cachier
After some minutes,it reported an error:
> vagrant plugin install vagrant-cachier
Installing the 'vagrant-cachier' plugin. This can take a few minutes...
Bundler, the underlying system Vagrant uses to install plugins,
reported an error. The error is shown below. These errors are usually
caused by misconfigured plugin installations or transient network
issues. The error from Bundler is:
An error occurred while installing childprocess (0.5.7), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that `gem install childprocess -v '0.5.7'` succeeds before bundling.
Warning: this Gemfile contains multiple primary sources. Using `source` more than once without a block is a security risk, and may result in installing unexpected gems. To resolve this warning, use a block to indicate which gems should come from the secondary source. To upgrade this warning to an error, run `bundle config disable_multisource true`.Gem::RemoteFetcher::FetchError: SSL_connect SYSCALL returned=5 errno=0 state=SSLv3 read server session ticket A (https://rubygems.org/gems/childprocess-0.5.7.gem)
I know little about ruby and gem.Is there anything else need to be installed before install plugins?
Or maybe the network issue? (I tried at home and office,the same error)
vagrant works fine that I can init, up and ssh normally.
I ran into the same issue finding it is a matter of gems folder misconfiguration.
I solved it with the following steps:
check where are your gems inside your vagrant installation (e.g. %vagrant_home%/embedded/gems/gems)
check your gem configuration with the command gem environment and looking for the section named GEM PATHS (if gem is not in you path look for it under the vagrant installation folder, e.g. %vagrant_home%/embedded/bin)
if the path at point 1 is not present within the section at point 2, include it with the command export GEM_HOME=/path/to/gems/folder (e.g. export GEM_HOME=%vagrant_home%/embedded/gems/gems)
P.S. %vagrant_home% refers to the vagrant installation base folder, use set instead of export under windows ...and sorry if I mixed unix and windows syntaxes
Test Environment: Vagrant 1.8.1 (gem 2.4.5.1) on Windows 7 behind web proxy
I installed this plugin https://github.com/winnfsd/vagrant-winnfsd and now Vagrant Cachier works like a charm on Windows 10.
To run it on Ubuntu simply install the nfs-server

I've been trying to install this 'rubygame' gem for some time, but whenever I use the command
gem install rubygame
it will give an error:
ERROR: Could not find a valid gem 'rubygame' (>= 0) in any repository
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::RemoteFetcher::FetchError)
Errno::ETIMEDOUT: Connection timed out - connect(2) (http://rubygems.org/latest_specs.4.8.gz)
I've also tried other gems but with similar results:
ERROR: Could not find a valid gem 'rake' (>= 0) in any repository
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::RemoteFetcher::FetchError)
Errno::ETIMEDOUT: Connection timed out - connect(2) (http://rubygems.org/latest_specs.4.8.gz)
I've already made sure I have an internet connection, and have already tried reinstalling both ruby and rubygems (currently using ruby 1.8, rubygems 1.7.2). Googling didn't help me at all. I would be very grateful if anyone can solve my problem. My sources list only shows http://rubygems.org
Check if you have "https://rubygems.org/" as a source to find gems at:
$ gem sources
*** CURRENT SOURCES ***
https://rubygems.org/
If not, you should be able to add it with
$ gem sources --add https://rubygems.org/
https://rubygems.org/ added to sources
Here are docs for the gem source command.
You can also add the source you want on the command whenever you have troubles using https, like this:
gem install GEMNAME --source http://rubygems.org
It's better to fix the SSL problem though.
are you behind any proxy?
check your browser for proxy that you might use:
execute the command: gem install xxx --http-proxy=http://user:password#server and you should be good to go.
You don't have an Internet connection to rubygems.org.
This happens sometimes if the site is down or blocked.
This command can show you if your connection has a way to reach rubygems.org:
traceroute rubygems.org
Maybe you should try
gem list -r
then
gem install -r rubygame
Also note that with rvmon MacosX (Lion in my case) you should install ruby-1.9.3-p194 (for Xcode 4.x compiler considerations) then
rvm rubygems current
and in my case I had to use
rvm use ruby-1.9.3-p194#global
(which contains bundler, rake, rubygems-bundlerand rvm)
and not
rvm use ruby-1.9.3-p194
(which is empty)
Can you post your versions?
ruby -v
#=> ruby 1.9.3p125 (2012-02-16 revision 34643) [x86_64-linux]
gem -v
#=> 1.8.19
If your gem command is not current, you can update it like this:
gem update --system
To see if you can connect to rubygems.org using Ruby:
require 'net/http'
require 'uri'
puts Net::HTTP.get URI.parse('https://rubygems.org')
If yes, that's good.
If no, then somehow Ruby is blocked from opening a net connection. Try these and see if any of them work:
curl https://rubygems.org
curl https://rubygems.org --local-port 1080
curl https://rubygems.org --local-port 8080
env | grep -i proxy
If you're using a company machine, or within a company firewall, or running your own firewall, you may need to use a proxy.
For info on Ruby and proxies see
http://www.linux-support.com/cms/http-proxies-and-ruby/
I have fixed this issue using the proxy command option of gem install. It has the following format:
$ gem install --http-proxy http://201.187.107.19:8080 rubygame
Note, the IP address and the port number refers to a proxy. You should search for a proxy list and use one of the proxies there.
This is site with proxies: http://www.cybersyndrome.net/pla5.html
Also, I have to try 7 or 8 different proxies in order to succeed. Do not give up.
Use :
gem sources --add http://rubygems.org/
Do you want to add this insecure source? [yn] [YES]
then use
gem install sass
and done
I know this is a little late, but I was also having this issue a while ago. This is what worked for me:
REALLY_GEM_UPDATE_SYSTEM=1
sudo gem update --system
sudo gem install rails
Hope this helps anyone else having this issue :)
I have tried most of the solutions suggested here but I had no luck.
I found a solution that worked for me, which was manually updating the gemfile to 2.6.7.
The guide on how to do is in guides.rubygems.org: installing-using-update-packages
Download rubygems-update-2.6.7.gem to your C:\
Now, using your Command Prompt:
C:\>gem install --local C:\rubygems-update-2.6.7.gem
C:\>update_rubygems --no-ri --no-rdoc
After this, gem --version should report the new update version (2.6.7).
You can now safely uninstall rubygems-update gem:
C:\>gem uninstall rubygems-update -x
Removing update_rubygems
Successfully uninstalled rubygems-update-2.6.7
The reason why this did not work before was because server used certificates SHA-1, now this was updated to SHA-2.
For what it is worth I came to this page because I had the same problem. I never got anywhere except some IMAP stuff that I don't understand. Then I remembered I had uninstalled privoxy on my ubuntu (because of some weird runtime error that mentioned 127.0.0.1:8118 when I used Daniel Kehoe's Rails template, https://github.com/RailsApps/rails3-application-templates [never discovered what it was]) and I hadn't changed my terminal to the state of no system wide proxy, under network proxy.
I know this may not be on-point but if I wound up here maybe other privoxy users can benefit too.
check your DNS settings ...I was facing similar problem ... when I checked my /etc/resolve.config file ,the name server was missing ... after adding it the problem gets resolved
This worked for me to bypass the proxy definitions:
1) become root
2) gem install -u gem_name gem_name
Hope you can work it out
I tried to install a gem which is for JRuby only, running into the same error. Using jruby's command worked then:
jruby -S gem install some_jruby_gem
If you are running behind the any firewall(if firewall blocking gem installation). just try following command it works.
gem install --http-proxy http://username:pwd#server:port gem
Make sure you type the command from the "App" Directory
It is a permission issue.
try with sudo
I typed following command in prompt:
# gem install vim-ruby --remote
then got a error message:
ERROR: Could not find a valid gem 'vim-ruby' (>= 0) in any repository
My environment is windows xp and ruby's version is 1.9.3
how to solve it?
vim-ruby is not a gem. Checking the gem repository using gem list vim -r returns several gems, but not that one.
From the docs:
How you get these files into Vim:
[...]
By downloading one of the tarballs, you can easily install the latest
stable or development version wherever you like on your machine. No
README, no vim-ruby-install.rb, just Vim files. You would typically
install these into either $VIM/vimfiles, for system-wide use, or $HOME/.vim
($HOME/vimfiles on Windows) for personal use.
Remember that when you install Vim in the first place, all of these files
are present. The purpose of downloading and installing them from
github is to get the latest version of them.
vim-ruby is not a gem but the page: https://github.com/vim-ruby/vim-ruby has a link https://github.com/vim-ruby/vim-ruby/wiki in which the link "VimRubySupport" has a section "Installing the latest version" which shows the vim-ruby as a gem. I too had the same problem as the original post. I downloaded the archive file from http://rubyforge.org/projects/vim-ruby/ which has a .rb file (bin/vim-ruby-install.rb after untarring the archive in my case) which installs the required vim files.
This method should solve your issue:
$ gem install --http-proxy http://201.187.107.19:8080 vim-ruby
Note, the IP address and the port number refers to a proxy. You should search for a proxy list and use one of the proxies there.
