- Open the Project Settings dialog for the current project, and click Ruby SDK and Gems.

Note
- 2.0.2+For the *nix platforms, select from the available
rvm SDK's and their gem sets, which enables you to switch between the various independent sandboxes.
To do that, select the desired interpreter - gem set pair from the
Ruby interpreter
drop-down list. Refer to RVM Support for the details of creating the interpreter - gem set pairs,
and to the descriptions of *nix-specific controls.
3.2+For the non-*nix platforms, choose from the Select Interpreter Path list, which shows the SDKs that are included in the PATH variable, but has not yet been added to your project.
If you still cannot see the desired SDK in the list, choose Specify Other, and locate the Ruby interpreter file in the dialog that opens.
- The name of the Ruby interpreter should contain ruby or ir
substring. Otherwise, the selected file will not be recognized as the proper Ruby SDK, and RubyMine
will display the following error message:
"The selected file is not a valid home for Ruby SDK."

Special note for JRuby users:jruby.bat is no longer supported, since it causes erratic behaviour for tools, that try to spawn new ruby instance (e.g. Rake)

For each of the installed gems, you can view its version and description.
Note that RubyMine smartly renders gems' documentation:
If some gems are missing, or outdated, click Install Gems / Update gems buttons.
Refer to the section Resolving Rereferences to Missing Gems.
