How to determine a repository?

I am trying to install ruby-mp3info. I have the following URL from which I can access the gem in my browser: http://bitbucket.org/moumar/ruby-mp3info/src/ I would like to specify this source while running gem install ruby-mp3info When I run gem install ruby-mp3info --source=http://b开发者_C百科itbucket.org/moumar/ruby-mp3info/src, though, I get a message back claiming this is not a repository. How do I find repositories?

Thanks!

Gem repositories must follow some special requirements. An URI is not necessary a repository. Actually, there are only a few public repositories such as:

• RubyGems (which now powers also GemCutter.org and RubyForge.org legacy indexes, see qrush's comment)
• GitHub (no longer active on new gems)

If you want to install ruby-mp3info, just enter

$ gem install ruby-mp3info

The Gem is already hosted on the standard Gem repository (Gemcutter/RubyGems).

$ gem search ruby-mp3info -r

*** REMOTE GEMS ***

ruby-mp3info (0.6.13)

If for whatever reason you need the latest build, then install it from source. Download the code, enter the project root and type

$ ruby install.rb config
$ ruby install.rb setup
$ ruby install.rb install
