ruby - $GEM_HOME 被 `gem install` 忽略

Question

我设置了 $GEM_HOME，但是 gem install 仍在安装到默认的 ~/.gem 目录。

This rubygems issue说要删除 .gemrc 中的 --user-install 选项，但我没有 .gemrc 文件。

如何获取 gem install 以兑现 $GEM_HOME 的值？

---

这里我先去掉~/.gem，然后显示是自动创建的:

% rm -rf ~/.gem
% find ~ -name '*gemrc*'    
% # No output, so .gemrc doesn't exist
% echo $GEM_HOME
/home/ravi/.local/share/gem
% gem install neovim

我在使用 snap(Ubuntu 软件)安装的 rubygems 时遇到了同样的问题，它默认安装到 ~/.gem。我能够使用 --install-dir 开关更改安装目录

$ gem install --install-dir /path/to/custom/directory foo

但是，后来我在使用安装在非默认目录中的 gem 时遇到了问题。

卸载它并使用 apt 安装解决了所有问题。

$ sudo snap remove ruby
$ sudo apt-get install rubygems

现在，gems 总是安装到 $GEM_HOME。为了仍然将 ~/.gem 作为默认安装位置，请将其添加到您的初始化脚本(例如 ~/.bashrc):

export GEM_HOME=$HOME/.gem
export PATH=$PATH:$GEM_HOME/bin

要覆盖安装位置，您只需在调用 gem install 之前覆盖 GEM_HOME。
