Go to RubyForge and locate the rubygems library.  There's a search field 
on the main page.

Download rubygems, latest version.  Extract and install as per the 
README or INSTALL file that I'm pretty sure is included.

You may want to be root so that the library and scripts are placed 
correctly.


You can now run, for example:

   gem install markaby

  gem uninstall markaby

If the gem is needed by other gems you should get warnings and an option 
to stop the uninstalling.

There are assorted options you can pass when installing, upgrading, and 
such, so try running

  gem help

to learn more.  And ask questions here, too, if you try but cannot 
figure something out.
