FAQ

1) I am behind a corporate network/firewall

Generally the corporate network should whitelist the http://rubygems.org website in their proxy. So if you get any errors while accessing rubygems.org, you can set HTTP_PROXY variable to get access to that website. 

Note: First try without HTTP_PROXY variable and if all goes well, there is nothing to do. If you get issues while installing gems then set the HTTP_PROXY environment variable and point it to the proxy server that your corporate environment designated. You might have to ask network administrator the exact details.
