The basic difference is a gem is something that needs to be installed on the system running your Rails application, whereas a plugin is deployed along with your application. More specifically, plugins live in vendor/plugins whereas gems need to be install using rake gem install gem_name.
You can navigate to the directory that contains the plugin, run the bundle install command and run the one generated test using the bin/test command. This will tell you that everything got generated properly, and you are ready to start adding functionality.
A Rails plugin is either an extension or a modification of the core framework. Plugins provide: a way for developers to share bleeding-edge ideas without hurting the stable code base. a segmented architecture so that units of code can be fixed or updated on their own release schedule.
I might be late to comment here. I found very useful tutorial here. SO. just want to share it with u.
