Setup Your Environment

Ruby

To be able to run Artoo, you first need to install a Ruby interpreter.

Install RVM

Follow the instructions below or go to the RVM site for more detailed instructions.

Run the following command in a terminal:

$ \curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable

Once the installation is complete, close your terminal window and open a new one.

To make sure RVM was installed correctly, run the following command:

Install Ruby 2.1.1

If you're a first time user, we recommend you install this version of Ruby.

With RVM installed, just run this command:

$ rvm install 2.1.1

Optionally, more advanced users can choose from other Rubies they prefer. Artoo supports MRI 1.9.3+, JRuby 1.7.4+, and Rubinius 2.0+.
