Have you checked out bundler?

http://bundler.io

it's fairly great at manageing gem dependencies. You specify your gems 
in the `Gemfile` run the `bundle install` command and boom. ready to go!

Generaly, I prefer to use the `require "bundler/setup"` method.

In in the first file you load in your app do:

    require "bundler/setup"
    Bundler.require(:default)

That will require all of the gems in you gemfile. You can also in your 
`Gemfile` do do:

    group :development do #or any symbol that you want to lable it with
	#gem "whatever_you_need"
	…
    end

and in your app:

    Bundler.require(:development)

And all of the gems will be required. this is really useful if your 
useing something like rack or sinatra to conditionaly require your gems 
for :testing, :development, or :production conditonaly.

1. `gem install bundler`
2. `bundle init` in your project root dir
3. specify your gems in `Gemfile`
4. `bundle install` in your project root

If you later add a new depedency then `bundle update` to rebuild the 
dependencys

When a user aqquires your code, they just have to `bundle install` and 
then start your app however you have designed that to work.
