How do I force gem install to download the docs file?
I have set the following in my ~ / .gemrc file
gem: --no-ri --no-rdoc
so when I do gem install some_gem the rdocs will not be installed so as not to accumulate my disk.
But for some gem, I wanted to install rdocs too. So I tried,
gem install some_gem --rdoc --ri
documents are not loaded. How can I get the gem installation to download rdocs as well for some gem if I wnat to ??

You can create a second config file named ~ / .gemrc_withdoc or something similar and include commands to install with documentation and then try the following command
gem install some_gem --config-file=~/.gemrc_withdoc
You can even get away without creating a confile file at all and working
gem install some_gem --config-file=/dev/null
This should work as expected because gem will only use one config file, either specified on the command line or ~ / .gemrc. He will never use both
