Greetings!
There is a server that they do not want to give me root access to, but I need to constantly install new gems, do bundle install / update. Are there any ways to install gems without root rights, for example to a local folder or something else?
Amazon Linux Server (CentOS 6), Apache, Passenger Gem, Rails 3.2.11, Ruby 1.8.7.
Thanks in advance.

if you don't want to break anything on the server, then redefine GEM_HOME and you will be happy
