The existing install script is problematic in that it requires maintenance of hand-built and hand acquired tarballs as well as compiling libraries. This exposes the installation to many potential points of failure and requires systems to have ruby-devel development OS packages installed. The existing installation strategy was originally required due to air-gapping of systems such that direct gem installation was not possible. However, this is no longer the case. This PR updates the installation of dependencies to use a direct gem install process.
