title: Local Install of capistrano
body: <p>This question is specific to capistrano, but it's a general gem question too.</p>
  
  <p>I have to download and then install gems - no remote connection available.</p>
  
  <p>I went to github and downloaded capistrano as tarball.
  I get the file thoughtbot-capistrano-d1229b2.tar.gz</p>
  
  <p>To install do I now...
  - rename the tarball with a .gem extension and run </p>
  
  <pre><code>gem install thoughtbot-capistrano-d1229b2.gem
  </code></pre>
  
  <ul>
  <li><p>just untar it to my local gem directory?</p></li>
  <li><p>something else?</p></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
