# RubyGems Packages Repository
Publish [RubyGems ](https://guides.rubygems.org/ ) packages for your user or organization.
**Table of Contents**
{{< toc > }}
## Requirements
To work with the RubyGems package registry, you need to use the [gem ](https://guides.rubygems.org/command-reference/ ) command line tool to consume and publish packages.
## Configuring the package registry
To register the package registry edit the `~/.gem/credentials` file and add:
```ini
---
https://gitea.example.com/api/packages/{owner}/rubygems: Bearer {token}
```
| Parameter | Description |
| ------------- | ----------- |
| `owner` | The owner of the package. |
| `token` | Your personal access token. |
For example:
```
---
https://gitea.example.com/api/packages/testuser/rubygems: Bearer 3bd626f84b01cd26b873931eace1e430a5773cc4
```
## Publish a package
Publish a package by running the following command:
```shell
gem push --host {host} {package_file}
```
| Parameter | Description |
| -------------- | ----------- |
| `host` | URL to the package registry. |
| `package_file` | Path to the package `.gem` file. |
For example:
```shell
gem push --host https://gitea.example.com/api/packages/testuser/rubygems test_package-1.0.0.gem
```
You cannot publish a package if a package of the same name and version already exists. You must delete the existing package first.
## Install a package
To install a package from the package registry you can use [Bundler ](https://bundler.io ) or `gem` .
### Bundler
Add a new `source` block to your `Gemfile` :
```
source "https://gitea.example.com/api/packages/{owner}/rubygems" do
gem "{package_name}"
end
```
| Parameter | Description |
| ----------------- | ----------- |
| `owner` | The owner of the package. |
| `package_name` | The package name. |
For example:
```
source "https://gitea.example.com/api/packages/testuser/rubygems" do
gem "test_package"
end
```
Afterwards run the following command:
```shell
bundle install
```
### gem
Execute the following command:
```shell
gem install --host https://gitea.example.com/api/packages/{owner}/rubygems {package_name}
```
| Parameter | Description |
| ----------------- | ----------- |
| `owner` | The owner of the package. |
| `package_name` | The package name. |
For example:
```shell
