Share ruby small app

ruby-talk
1

I have created a small ruby script/utility. This script accepts as input a
file and outputs a second file.

My problem is that I am having difficulty sharing my script to users. Do I
need to compile it to executable? I do not want to install ruby on
end-users’ pc…

tips pls…

Thank you for any suggestion.

Not much choice, I’m afraid.

If it’s small and not too dependent on Ruby magic, you could write it in
another language in order to compile it. If the end-users’ PCs have Perl
installed, there’s a likely target.

Otherwise, consider installing Ruby! Can’t hurt that much, can it? :slight_smile:

Others will hopefully comment on a rb2c project that will allow you to compile
your script, but it’s beyond my experience.

If your end-users are running Windows, consider using exerb (listed in
the Ruby Application Archive). It doesn’t compile your script into an
executable, but rather bundles a Ruby interpreter and your script (plus
any supporting modules) into a stand-alone Windows executable.
