Where can I install a ruby gem for use with OpenStudio 2.1.0 measures?

In past versions of OpenStudio (OS 1.#.#), I would install the appropriate files under the 'ruby-install' folder located in the main 'OpenStudio 1.#.#' folder.

I was able to get this working with the following...

(1) Create an environment variable for GEM_PATH and path it to my local gem directory

(2) Use the OpenStudio CLI and set --gem_path DIR to my local gem directory (same path as above)

Big thanks to @Julien Marrec @David Goldwasser @Eric Ringold for the suggestions and resources

That's an either/or right? You shouldn't need (1) if you use (2) at least, but I'm not 100% sure if (1) by itself works or not.
