Why Bundle Install is installing gems in vendor/bundle?

Whenever I do bundle install all of the gems get installed at

app_dir/vendor/bundle

path and consumes loads of disk space. I also tried installing gems where it should get installed i.e gemsets while development by this:

bundle install --no-deployement

but this isn't working for me and installeing gems at vendor/bundle. How can I make it to be installed globally for all applications or in ruby gemsets location ? I also tried removing .bundle/config but nothing changed.

I am using:

rvm version: 1.23.14
ruby version: 2.0.0-p247
rails 3.2.13

Here is my ~/.bash_profile:

export PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin
eval "$(rbenv init -)"
alias pg='pg_ctl -D /usr/local/var/postgres -l /usr/local/var/postgres/server.log'

[[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && source "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" # Load RVM into a shell session *as a function*
[[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && . "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" # Load RVM function

My ~/.bashrc:

PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.rvm/bin # Add RVM to PATH for scripting

Some other information that you might need:

aman@Amandeeps-MacBook-Pro ~/Projects/qe (develop)*$ which bundle
/Users/aman/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p247@global/bin/bundle

aman@Amandeeps-MacBook-Pro ~/Projects/qe (develop)*$ rbenv which bundle
/Users/aman/.rbenv/versions/2.0.0-p247/bin/bundle

amandeep@Amandeeps-MacBook-Pro ~/Projects/qe (develop)*$ rbenv which ruby
/Users/aman/.rbenv/versions/2.0.0-p247/bin/ruby

aman@Amandeeps-MacBook-Pro ~/Projects/qe (develop)*$ rbenv gemset active
rbenv: NO such command `gemset'

aman@Amandeeps-MacBook-Pro ~/Projects/qe (develop)*$ which rails
/Users/aman/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p247@global/bin/rails

I tried this also but didn't helped:

bundle install --system

and removing .bundle directory.

Please help me in installing gems in gemsets not vendor/bundle or a default place.

Solution

    1. Use bundle env to view paths and bundle configuration

    2. After this set bundle path to ~/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p247 like this:

      bundle install --path ~/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p247

      which is global and also you can use your own custom path.

    3. Post this bundle install will never need path again and will always install all of your gems in that directory(~/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p247 in my case) for that app not in app_folder/vendor/bundle
