def install options = {}
  require 'rubygems/installer'

  destination = options[:install_dir] || Gem.dir

  Gem.ensure_gem_subdirectories destination

  gem = source.download spec, destination

  installer = Gem::Installer.new gem, options

  yield installer if block_given?

  @spec = installer.install
end

Returns true if this specification is installable on this platform.

# File lib/rubygems/resolver/specification.rb, line 102
