GitHub has a useful page on how to install gems directly from github.

A recent OS X example is

$ sudo gem install spicycode-rcov

    Hi,

    I am unable to install the gem spicycode-rcov using the command ‘gem install spicycode-rcov’. It throws the following error : ERROR: While executing gem … (Gem::RemoteFetcher::FetchError) getaddrinfo: no address associated with hostname.(SocketError) As an alternative, where can I download this file from? Any help is highly appreciated!

    Thanks.

    Hi Ashwin

    Take a look at the github page, you need to add github as a gem source in the terminal first.

    Cheers Nick
