def install(packages, version=nil)
  send(run_method,"#{GEM_INSTALL} #{if version then '-v '+version.to_s end} #{packages.to_a.join(' ')}")
end

#select(package, version = nil, platform = 'ruby') ⇒ Object

Auto selects a gem from a list and installs it.

gem has no mechanism on the command line of disambiguating builds for different platforms, and instead asks the user. This method has the necessary conversation to select the version relevant to platform (or the one nearest the top of the list if you don’t specify version).
