I'm having a problem installing GEM's in my environment. I have been using SSH to do this work. [userna05@server ~]$ gem env RubyGems Environment: - RUBYGEMS VERSION: 2.0.14.1 - RUBY VERSION: 2.0.0 (2015-12-16 patchlevel 648) [x86_64-linux] - INSTALLATION DIRECTORY: /home/userna05/ruby/gems - RUBY EXECUTABLE: /usr/bin/ruby - EXECUTABLE DIRECTORY: /home/userna05/ruby/gems/bin - RUBYGEMS PLATFORMS: - ruby - x86_64-linux - GEM PATHS: - /home/userna05/ruby/gems - - GEM CONFIGURATION: - :update_sources => true - :verbose => true - :backtrace => false - :bulk_threshold => 1000 - "gem" => "--remote --no-rdoc --run-tests" - "gemhome" => "/home/userna05/ruby/gems" - "gempath" => [""] - "rdoc" => "--inline-source --line-numbers" - REMOTE SOURCES: - https://rubygems.org/ [userna05@server ~]$ gem list --local *** LOCAL GEMS *** addressable (2.5.1) colorator (1.1.0) ffi (1.9.18) forwardable-extended (2.6.0) jekyll-asciidoc (2.0.1) jekyll-sass-converter (1.5.0) jekyll-watch (1.5.0) liquid (3.0.6) mercenary (0.3.6) pathutil (0.14.0) public_suffix (2.0.5) rb-fsevent (0.9.8) rb-inotify (0.9.8) rouge (2.0.7, 1.11.1) rubygems-update (2.6.11) [userna05@server ~]$ Then I proceed with ASCIIDOCTOR GEM I need. [userna05@server ~]$ gem install asciidoctor Fetching: asciidoctor-1.5.5.gem (100%) Successfully installed asciidoctor-1.5.5 ERROR: While executing gem ...

Then I do another list of the local Gems [userna05@server ~]$ gem list --local *** LOCAL GEMS *** addressable (2.5.1) asciidoctor (1.5.5) <---- looks like it's been installed colorator (1.1.0) ffi (1.9.18) forwardable-extended (2.6.0) jekyll-asciidoc (2.0.1) jekyll-sass-converter (1.5.0) jekyll-watch (1.5.0) liquid (3.0.6) mercenary (0.3.6) pathutil (0.14.0) public_suffix (2.0.5) rb-fsevent (0.9.8) rb-inotify (0.9.8) rouge (2.0.7, 1.11.1) rubygems-update (2.6.11) I attempt to run it and I get [userna05@server ~]$ asciidoctor -bash: asciidoctor: command not found I changed to the directory where the BIN is located.

Hello,

Thank you for your question about the 'asciidoctor' Ruby gem. Unfortunately, it appears that 'asciidoctor' may have some additional dependencies that need to be installed outside a directory that you have access to function properly. If this gem is vital to the operation of your site, a VPS or dedicated server would address this issue.

Gratefully,
Casey B.
