If this is the first time you run bundle install (and a 1mGemfile.lock 22mdoes not exist), Bundler will fetch all remote sources, resolve dependencies and install all needed gems. If a 1mGemfile.lock 22mdoes exist, and you have not updated your Gemfile(5), Bundler will fetch all remote sources, but use the dependencies speci- fied in the 1mGemfile.lock 22minstead of resolving dependencies. If a 1mGemfile.lock 22mdoes exist, and you have updated your Gemfile(5), Bundler will use the dependencies in the 1mGemfile.lock 22mfor all gems that you did not update, but will re-resolve the dependencies of gems that you did update. You can find more information about this update process below under 4mCONSERVATIVE24m 4mUPDATING24m. 1mOPTIONS0m To apply any of 1m--binstubs22m, 1m--deployment22m, 1m--path22m, or 1m--without 22mevery time 1mbundle install 22mis run, use 1mbundle config 22m(see bundle-config(1)). 1m--binstubs[=]0m Creates a directory (defaults to 1m~/bin22m) and place any executa- bles from the gem there. These executables run in Bundler's con- text. If used, you might add this directory to your environ- ment's 1mPATH 22mvariable. For instance, if the 1mrails 22mgem comes with a 1mrails 22mexecutable, this flag will create a 1mbin/rails 22mexecutable that ensures that all referred dependencies will be resolved using the bundled gems. 1m--clean0m On finishing the installation Bundler is going to remove any gems not present in the current Gemfile(5). Don't worry, gems currently in use will not be removed. 1m--deployment0m In 4mdeployment24m 4mmode24m, Bundler will 'roll-out' the bundle for pro- duction or CI use. Please check carefully if you want to have this option enabled in your development environment. 1m--force0m Force download every gem, even if the required versions are already available locally. 1m--frozen0m Do not allow the Gemfile.lock to be updated after this install. Exits non-zero if there are going to be changes to the Gem- file.lock. 1m--full-index0m Bundler will not call Rubygems' API endpoint (default) but down- load and cache a (currently big) index file of all gems. Perfor- mance can be improved for large bundles that seldom change by enabling this option. 1m--gemfile=0m The location of the Gemfile(5) which Bundler should use. This defaults to a Gemfile(5) in the current working directory. In general, Bundler will assume that the location of the Gemfile(5) is also the project's root and will try to find 1mGemfile.lock 22mand 1mvendor/cache 22mrelative to this location. 1m--jobs=[]22m, 1m-j[]0m The maximum number of parallel download and install jobs. The default is 1m122m. 1m--local0m Do not attempt to connect to 1mrubygems.org22m. Instead, Bundler will use the gems already present in Rubygems' cache or in 1mven-0m 1mdor/cache22m. Note that if a appropriate platform-specific gem exists on 1mrubygems.org 22mit will not be found. 1m--no-cache0m Do not update the cache in 1mvendor/cache 22mwith the newly bundled gems. This does not remove any gems in the cache but keeps the newly bundled gems from being cached during the install. 1m--no-prune0m Don't remove stale gems from the cache when the installation finishes. 1m--path=0m The location to install the specified gems to. This defaults to Rubygems' setting. Bundler shares this location with Rubygems, 1mgem install ... 22mwill have gem installed there, too. Therefore, gems installed without a 1m--path ... 22msetting will show up by calling 1mgem list22m. Accordingly, gems installed to other locations will not get listed. 1m--quiet0m Do not print progress information to the standard output. Instead, Bundler will exit using a status code (1m$?22m). 1m--retry=[]0m Retry failed network or git requests for 4mnumber24m times. 1m--shebang=0m Uses the specified ruby executable (usually 1mruby22m) to execute the scripts created with 1m--binstubs22m. In addition, if you use 1m--bin-0m 1mstubs 22mtogether with 1m--shebang jruby 22mthese executables will be changed to execute 1mjruby 22minstead. 1m--standalone[=]0m Makes a bundle that can work without depending on Rubygems or Bundler at runtime. A space separated list of groups to install has to be specified. Bundler creates a directory named 1mbundle0m and installs the bundle there. It also generates a 1mbun-0m 1mdle/bundler/setup.rb 22mfile to replace Bundler's own setup in the manner required. Using this option implicitly sets 1mpath22m, which is a [remembered option][REMEMBERED OPTIONS]. 1m--system0m Installs the gems specified in the bundle to the system's Rubygems location. This overrides any previous configuration of 1m--path22m. 1m--trust-policy=[]0m Apply the Rubygems security policy 4mpolicy24m, where policy is one of 1mHighSecurity22m, 1mMediumSecurity22m, 1mLowSecurity22m, 1mAlmostNoSecurity22m, or 1mNoSecurity22m. For more details, please see the Rubygems signing documentation linked below in 4mSEE24m 4mALSO24m. 1m--with=0m A space-separated list of groups referencing gems to install. If an optional group is given it is installed. If a group is given that is in the remembered list of groups given to --without, it is removed from that list. 1m--without=0m A space-separated list of groups referencing gems to skip during installation. If a group is given that is in the remembered list of groups given to --with, it is removed from that list. 1mDEPLOYMENT MODE0m Bundler's defaults are optimized for development. To switch to defaults optimized for deployment and for CI, use the 1m--deployment 22mflag. Do not activate deployment mode on development machines, as it will cause an error when the Gemfile(5) is modified. 1. A 1mGemfile.lock 22mis required. To ensure that the same versions of the gems you developed with and tested with are also used in deployments, a 1mGemfile.lock 22mis required. This is mainly to ensure that you remember to check your 1mGem-0m 1mfile.lock 22minto version control. 2. The 1mGemfile.lock 22mmust be up to date In development, you can modify your Gemfile(5) and re-run 1mbundle0m 1minstall 22mto 4mconservatively24m 4mupdate24m your 1mGemfile.lock 22msnapshot. In deployment, your 1mGemfile.lock 22mshould be up-to-date with changes made in your Gemfile(5). 3. Gems are installed to 1mvendor/bundle 22mnot your default system loca- tion In development, it's convenient to share the gems used in your application with other applications and other scripts that run on the system. In deployment, isolation is a more important default. In addition, the user deploying the application may not have permission to install gems to the system, or the web server may not have permis- sion to read them. As a result, 1mbundle install --deployment 22minstalls gems to the 1mven-0m 1mdor/bundle 22mdirectory in the application. This may be overridden using the 1m--path 22moption. 1mSUDO USAGE0m By default, Bundler installs gems to the same location as 1mgem install22m. In some cases, that location may not be writable by your Unix user. In that case, Bundler will stage everything in a temporary directory, then ask you for your 1msudo 22mpassword in order to copy the gems into their system location. From your perspective, this is identical to installing the gems directly into the system. You should never use 1msudo bundle install22m. This is because several other steps in 1mbundle install 22mmust be performed as the current user: o Updating your 1mGemfile.lock0m o Updating your 1mvendor/cache22m, if necessary o Checking out private git repositories using your user's SSH keys Of these three, the first two could theoretically be performed by 1mchown22ming the resulting files to 1m$SUDO_USER22m. The third, however, can only be performed by invoking the 1mgit 22mcommand as the current user. Therefore, git gems are downloaded and installed into 1m~/.bundle 22mrather than $GEM_HOME or $BUNDLE_PATH. As a result, you should run 1mbundle install 22mas the current user, and Bundler will ask for your password if it is needed to put the gems into their final location. 1mINSTALLING GROUPS0m By default, 1mbundle install 22mwill install all gems in all groups in your Gemfile(5), except those declared for a different platform. However, you can explicitly tell Bundler to skip installing certain groups with the 1m--without 22moption. This option takes a space-separated list of groups. While the 1m--without 22moption will skip 4minstalling24m the gems in the speci- fied groups, it will still 4mdownload24m those gems and use them to resolve the dependencies of every gem in your Gemfile(5). This is so that installing a different set of groups on another machine (such as a production server) will not change the gems and versions that you have already developed and tested against. 1mBundler offers a rock-solid guarantee that the third-party code you are0m 1mrunning in development and testing is also the third-party code you are0m 1mrunning in production. You can choose to exclude some of that code in0m 1mdifferent environments, but you will never be caught flat-footed by0m 1mdifferent versions of third-party code being used in different environ-0m 1mments.0m For a simple illustration, consider the following Gemfile(5): source 'https://rubygems.org' gem 'sinatra' group :production do gem 'rack-perftools-profiler' end In this case, 1msinatra 22mdepends on any version of Rack (1m>= 1.022m), while 1mrack-perftools-profiler 22mdepends on 1.x (1m~> 1.022m). When you run 1mbundle install --without production 22min development, we look at the dependencies of 1mrack-perftools-profiler 22mas well. That way, you do not spend all your time developing against Rack 2.0, using new APIs unavailable in Rack 1.x, only to have Bundler switch to Rack 1.2 when the 1mproduction 22mgroup 4mis24m used. This should not cause any problems in practice, because we do not attempt to 1minstall 22mthe gems in the excluded groups, and only evaluate as part of the dependency resolution process. This also means that you cannot include different versions of the same gem in different groups, because doing so would result in different sets of dependencies used in development and production. Because of the vagaries of the dependency resolution process, this usually affects more than the gems you list in your Gemfile(5), and can (surprisingly) radically change the gems you are using. 1mTHE GEMFILE.LOCK0m When you run 1mbundle install22m, Bundler will persist the full names and versions of all gems that you used (including dependencies of the gems specified in the Gemfile(5)) into a file called 1mGemfile.lock22m. Bundler uses this file in all subsequent calls to 1mbundle install22m, which guarantees that you always use the same exact code, even as your appli- cation moves across machines. Because of the way dependency resolution works, even a seemingly small change (for instance, an update to a point-release of a dependency of a gem in your Gemfile(5)) can result in radically different gems being needed to satisfy all dependencies. As a result, you 1mSHOULD 22mcheck your 1mGemfile.lock 22minto version control. If you do not, every machine that checks out your repository (including your production server) will resolve all dependencies again, which will result in different versions of third-party code being used if 1many 22mof the gems in the Gemfile(5) or any of their dependencies have been updated. 1mCONSERVATIVE UPDATING0m When you make a change to the Gemfile(5) and then run 1mbundle install22m, Bundler will update only the gems that you modified. In other words, if a gem that you 1mdid not modify 22mworked before you called 1mbundle install22m, it will continue to use the exact same versions of all dependencies as it used before the update. Let's take a look at an example. Here's your original Gemfile(5): source 'https://rubygems.org' gem 'actionpack', '2.3.8' gem 'activemerchant' In this case, both 1mactionpack 22mand 1mactivemerchant 22mdepend on 1mactivesup-0m 1mport22m. The 1mactionpack 22mgem depends on 1mactivesupport 2.3.8 22mand 1mrack ~>0m 1m1.1.022m, while the 1mactivemerchant 22mgem depends on 1mactivesupport >= 2.3.222m, 1mbraintree >= 2.0.022m, and 1mbuilder >= 2.0.022m. When the dependencies are first resolved, Bundler will select 1mactivesupport 2.3.822m, which satisfies the requirements of both gems in your Gemfile(5). Next, you modify your Gemfile(5) to: source 'https://rubygems.org' gem 'actionpack', '3.0.0.rc' gem 'activemerchant' The 1mactionpack 3.0.0.rc 22mgem has a number of new dependencies, and updates the 1mactivesupport 22mdependency to 1m= 3.0.0.rc 22mand the 1mrack 22mdepen- dency to 1m~> 1.2.122m. When you run 1mbundle install22m, Bundler notices that you changed the 1mactionpack 22mgem, but not the 1mactivemerchant 22mgem. It evaluates the gems currently being used to satisfy its requirements: 1mactivesupport 2.3.80m also used to satisfy a dependency in 1mactivemerchant22m, which is not being updated 1mrack ~> 1.1.00m not currently being used to satisfy another dependency Because you did not explicitly ask to update 1mactivemerchant22m, you would not expect it to suddenly stop working after updating 1mactionpack22m. How- ever, satisfying the new 1mactivesupport 3.0.0.rc 22mdependency of action- pack requires updating one of its dependencies. Even though 1mactivemerchant 22mdeclares a very loose dependency that theo- retically matches 1mactivesupport 3.0.0.rc22m, Bundler treats gems in your Gemfile(5) that have not changed as an atomic unit together with their dependencies. In this case, the 1mactivemerchant 22mdependency is treated as 1mactivemerchant 1.7.1 + activesupport 2.3.822m, so 1mbundle install 22mwill report that it cannot update 1mactionpack22m. To explicitly update 1mactionpack22m, including its dependencies which other gems in the Gemfile(5) still depend on, run 1mbundle update actionpack0m (see 1mbundle update(1)22m). 1mSummary22m: In general, after making a change to the Gemfile(5) , you should first try to run 1mbundle install22m, which will guarantee that no other gem in the Gemfile(5) is impacted by the change. If that does not work, run [bundle update(1)][bundle-update]. 1mSEE ALSO0m o Gem install docs 4mhttp://guides.rubygems.org/rubygems-basics/#installing-gems0m o Rubygems signing docs 4mhttp://guides.rubygems.org/security/0m October 2017 BUNDLE-INSTALL(1)
