# Install And Require Gems Inline Without Gemfile
[Bundler](https://bundler.io/) has an _inline_ feature where you can declare
gems that should be installed and required for the current file without the use
of a `Gemfile`. This is useful for creating a single-file Ruby script that can
define its own dependencies.
Require `"bundler/inline"` and then add a `gemfile` block toward the top of the
script to specify the source and any gems.
```ruby
require "bundler/inline"
gemfile do
source "https://rubygems.org"
gem "httparty"
end
```
When the script gets run (e.g. `ruby script.rb`), it will install the gems (if
they haven't already been installed) and then run the script. You can specify
version constraints just like you'd do in a `Gemfile`.
Here is a single-file script using this approach that I wrote to interact with
the Kit API.
```ruby
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
require "bundler/inline"
gemfile do
source "https://rubygems.org"
gem "httparty"
end
require "json"
require_relative "kit_client"
API_SECRET = ENV["KIT_API_SECRET"]
def fetch_all_tags(api_secret)
client = KitClient.new("https://api.kit.com/v4", api_secret)
tags = []
after_cursor = nil
loop do
params = {per_page: 1000}
params[:after] = after_cursor if after_cursor
response = client.get("/tags", params)
data = JSON.parse(response.body)
tags.concat(data["tags"])
break unless data["pagination"]["has_next_page"]
after_cursor = data["pagination"]["end_cursor"]
end
tags
end
tags = fetch_all_tags(API_SECRET)
tags.each do |tag|
puts tag
end
```
Because I've specified the shebang at the top of the file (and assuming I've
`chmod +x fetch_tags.rb`), I can run this directly as a script with
`./fetch_tags.rb`.
