--- layout: default title: Download - Ruby Facets ---
Facets can be dowloaded and installed easily using RubyGems:
gem install facets
Gems will automatically generate rdocs on installation. Unfortunately the Gem generated rdocs are very poor --in fact Facets only allows them to be generated to ensure the creation of ri docs (ruby api index files). We recommend instread that you use the pre-generated rdocs provided in the doc/ directory which are much more user-friendly.
If you prefer to install from source. You can download the .tgz
package from RubyForge and follow the standard procedure:
$ tar -xvzf facets-3.0.0.tgz
$ cd facets-3.0.0
$ ruby setup.rb
The last step may require super-user permissions (eg. use sudo
).
Facets' distribution packages are hosted on RubyForge.org. You can download any of the distributed packages directly from the Facets project site:
Of course, to use Facets you also need Ruby. We recommend Ruby 1.8.6 for use with Facets. Facets is mostly compatible with Ruby 1.9, but it will be a little while yet before Ruby 1.9 is stable enoguh to ensure 100% usability.
