RubyGems is the de facto way to distribute Ruby
packages/addons/extensions/libraries/whatever. Even RubyGems is
distribute as a gem. The first problem for you to solve is
bootstrapping this loop. The process of installing RubyGems by
hand is explained in [1].

Once that is done, you can use "gem search mysql -r" to find
the gem you want and use "gem install mysql" to install this
stone.

Life easy, when you know how where to start...
