Alternative Bundle install path

To install gems to somewhere other than your system repository (also, to stop bundler from attempting to

sudo
anything), set an alternative install location using BUNDLE_PATH. This will install all required gems to that location. Additionally, set GEM_HOME in the environment. The difference is that GEM_HOME is where the gems are stored while BUNDLE_PATH is the location of the specific project data is stored.
