[SOLVED] problem installing Ruby programming environment

I'm having an issue that I can't figure out regarding the installation of gem modules. It seems that gem is not being pointed to the right export path.

Here is the output I get when runinng "gem install <module>" in this case it is "solargraph":

WARNING:  You don't have /home/scott/.local/share/gem/ruby/3.3.0/bin in your PATH,
     gem executables will not run.

I have set up the PATH in the Zsh shell (.zshrc) as such:

export PATH=$HOME/home/scott/.local/share/gem/ruby/3.3.0/bin:/usr/lib/ruby/gems/3.3.0:$PATH

Thanks in advance.

$HOME/home/scott/

Think that one through. What do you get when $HOME is expanded?

i'm guessing that /home/scott doesn't need to be there but if I remove it I get the same error.
and yes the the directories are all there.

That's it? Then you've got an extra space somewhere

Got it:

export PATH=$HOME/.local/share/gem/ruby/3.3.0/bin:/usr/lib/ruby/gems/3.3.0:$PATH:

thanks for the help.
