Installing Ladon

Install

Until we are able to secure hosting on https://rubygems.org, Ladon must be installed from source code.

  1. Install Ruby 2.1+; RVM is a good tool for the unfamiliar.
  • Windows Note: to install RVM, you have to do nonsense with Cygwin. Consider using RubyInstaller instead; make sure you install using a 2.1+ version!
  1. Clone the repository locally, cd ~/[cloned-repo] and build the gem: gem build ladon.gemspec
  2. A ladon-[version].gem file should be created. Run: gem install ladon-[version].gem

Validating an Install

To confirm you've successfully installed Ladon:

  1. start a Ruby interpreter: irb
  2. In your irb session, run: require 'ladon'
  3. You should see irb return true for that require commands, which means the require was successful
  4. Type Ladon::Version::STRING and confirm that a valid-looking semantic version number is returned and printed to your terminal.

If step 4 works, you're ready to go!

Next: read the design overview. Feeling bold? Skip to the "writing Ladon" overview.
