$ gem install libcharguess-1.0.gem requires sudo

Question

It's a pretty confusing section, because I think libcharguess needs sudo but meanwhile
$bundle install should not be run under sudo.

(But I'm not sure this time, so I didn't edit the wiki.)

Thanks, I have edited the wiki to reflect this.

You don't need sudo if you set GEM_HOME to something writable by you. For example, I set mine like this: GEM_HOME=~/.gem.
