Warning !! We **deprecated** this interface in cPanel & WHM version 66. RubyGems is a package manager for the Ruby programming language. It provides a self-contained format in which developers can distribute Ruby programs and libraries. For more information on RubyGems, read the [RubyGems](https://guides.rubygems.org/) documentation. # Ruby Gem Installer To create a Ruby application, perform the following steps: 1. Ask your hosting provider to install Ruby on your system via the following [*EasyApache 4*](https://docs.cpanel.net/whm/software/easyapache-4-interface/) packages: * The `ea-apache24-mod_env` module. * The `ea-ruby24-ruby-devel` module. 2. Create a Ruby application on your server. For an example of how to do this, read our [How to Create Ruby Web Applications](https://docs.cpanel.net/knowledge-base/web-services/how-to-create-ruby-web-applications/) documentation. 3. Use cPanel’s [*Application Manager*](https://docs.cpanel.net/cpanel/software/application-manager/) interface (*cPanel » Home » Software » Application Manager*) to register the application. # Installed Ruby Gems The *Installed Ruby Gem(s)* table lists all of the Ruby Gems that exist on your server. For each installed Ruby Gem, the table displays the following information: * *Module Name* — The Ruby Gem’s name. * *Version* — The Ruby Gem’s version number. * *Actions* — You can perform the following actions for each Ruby Gem: * *Update* — Update the Ruby Gem. * *Reinstall* — Reinstall the Ruby Gem. * *Uninstall* — Remove the Ruby Gem from your server. * *Show Docs* — Read the Ruby Gem’s documentation.
