Getting the bundler gem execuble in $PATH

I've installed Bundler 1.16.1 and am trying to configure my $PATH variable for using the bundle command. The Bundler Troubleshooting Guide says:

Note that you will need to append ~/.gem/ruby/<ruby version>/bin to your $PATH variable to use bundle.

I'm unable to locate the /bin executable. Here's the output of some troubleshooting commands on my system:

$ which ruby
/usr/local/bin/ruby
$ which gem 
/usr/local/bin/gem
$ gem which bundler
/usr/local/Cellar/ruby/2.4.1_1/lib/ruby/gems/2.4.0/gems/bundler-1.16.1/lib/bundler.rb

Also, echo $PATH reveals that /usr/local/bin/gem is in the $PATH already.

What's the path to the bundler gem executable then?

Solution

  • What's the path to the bundler gem executable then?

    It is listed in the documentation snippet you posted in your question as:

    ~/.gem/ruby/<ruby version>/bin

    Note: replace <ruby version> with the library compatibility version (not the language version or the engine version!) of the implementation you are using.
