title: Install rubygems on production machine (closed down network)
body: <p>I am a noob to Ruby and R-o-R and have been tinkering around deploying the app that I have built.</p>
  
  <p>The production machine where I need to deploy my app is a fresh machine and hence needs the gems to be installed on it. I have been trying to install the gems by copying the gems that I need from my remote machine to the prod box. So I have got question or two around that </p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>Is there a better way of installing rubygems on a machine behind a firewall?</p></li>
  <li><p>Once I have all the gems installed on the prod box, which is the best way to deploy the app itself? Do I need to set up some sort of rsync/scp etc? Or is there a better industry standard way of doing this?</p></li>
  </ol>
