      <pre wrap="">Hello,

When I develop some administration scripts and distribute them to
my colleague, we often encounter issues: I must write a readme or
an email for explain what to do for use them:
mkdir, gem install ¡Ä

Why 'require X' instruction do not make a  'gem install X' when
the gem is not installed ?

With (red) Shoes, we got  "Shoes.setup { gem 'json_pure' } ", this is
really useful for non-native gem !

Sincerely,

    Hello,<br>
    <br>
    IMHO a such tool would be really dangerous, and not so useful:<br>
    the best option is to allow users to install everything in 1
    command.<br>
    <br>
    You should try Bundler : even if you don't want to use it in your<br>
    application, you can provide a Gemfile (and, even better, a<br>
    Gemfile.lock) then user will be able to use it with "bundle
    install."<br>
    <br>
    An other way is to create a rake task which does to job.<br>
    <br>
