How to require a user-installed gem in ruby when system-wide gem with higher version is also available?

I have two versions of a gem installed: system-wide 1.3.2, and user-installed 1.0.0.

I need to use only version 1.0.0, which is installed in my home dir. Is there a way to tell gem to prefer user-installed gems?

You can specify which gem version to use by using the gem command before you require it.

gem 'foo', '1.0.0'
require 'foo'

  1. You can specify the GEM_PATH variable, pointing to the version 2, GEM_HOME to path to gems for the selected interpreter, and specify PATH to binary folder at the beginning of all PATHs, which contains the version.

  2. Use , or apps to control / apps per project.
