Compiling gem after editing it

rmeetup is one of the only gems available for API for Meetup but is a little outdated https://github.com/Jberlinsky/rmeetup

I tried to update some of the files on my computer but don't know how to compile them to be used and tested with my app.

Any advice?

Besides using bundler with the path directive - if you checked out the git project you can run rake gem in the rmeetup folder. This will create a gem file in the pkg folder which you can then install with gem install. Now you will have a new system-wide rmeetup which includes any changes you made.

You also might want to edit the Rakefile to bump the version before you build the new gem.

> rake gem
mkdir -p pkg
Gemspec generated
...
> ls pkg
rMeetup-1.0  rMeetup-1.0.gem
