How to: Run bundle install in parallel
You can run bundle install in parallel. This might be helpful for development, where you often install many new gems when switching between projects.
- Find out the number of processors you have:
lscpu
- Set the config in your
~/.bundle/configglobally (replace8with your number of proccessors):
bundle config jobs 8
Note
If you suspect parallel execution for bundling issues, you can try serially with
bundle install --jobs 1.
