Public Instance methods

find_gem_to_install(gem_name, version_requirement)

Find a gem to be installed by interacting with the user.

install(gem_name, version_requirement = "> 0.0.0", force=false, install_dir=Gem.dir, install_stub=true)

This method will install package_name onto the local system.

gem_name:[String] Name of the Gem to install
version_requirement:[default = "> 0.0.0"] Gem version requirement to install
Returns:an array of Gem::Specification objects, one for each gem installed.
install_dependencies(dependencies, force, install_dir)

Install all the given dependencies. Returns an array of Gem::Specification objects, one for each dependency installed.

TODO: For now, we recursively install, but this is not the right way to do things (e.g. if a package fails to download, we shouldn’t install anything).

source_index_hash()

Return a hash mapping the available source names to the source index of that source.

specs_n_sources_matching(gem_name, version_requirement)

Finds the Gem::Specification objects and the corresponding source URI for gems matching gem_name and version_requirement
