I think the generally accepted way to install a 3rd party library is to 
use RubyGems:

"RubyGems is a standardized packaging and installation framework for 
libraries and applications, making it easy to locate, install, upgrade, 
and uninstall Ruby packages." pickaxe2 p 215.

That's what I do.  You need to install RubyGems and learn how to use it.
