rvm rails install takes too long

Question

I use \\curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --rails \\curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --rails to quicky install the latest ruby and rails. But it takes nearly ten minutes for the command to complete and a lot of time is spent generating ri/rdoc documentation. Is there a way to skip the while documentation generation.

Answer 1

When a gem gets installed - as is the case when you're installing the Rails gem and all of its dependent gems - all documentation will get generated, as you know. You can set the defaults for installing gems via a .gemrc file in your home directory, add:

gem: --no-document

to the file ~/.gemrc . And then all of your gems will skip doc generation.
