Install a rubygem Globally

… on Fedora, that is. Example gem name, obviously.
sudo gem install --no-user-install --minimal-deps \
-r -i /usr/share/gems winrm-elevated
But I am starting to conclude that it’s better to configure your Ruby/Gem
installation to use a personal Gem repository all the time. I think you
do that with something like:
export GEM_HOME=$HOME/.gem
But I don’t feel like I understand Ruby packaging at all so maybe that’s
terrible advice.
