How to get it

There are two ways to install build-tool.

  • The easy and recommended way is to install it using rubygems.
  • The other method is to clone the build-tool repository.

Only clone the repository if you want to live on the bleeding edge or have a go at helping with the build-tool development. Expect and accept the problems you will experience if you do that.

Using rubygems

Given you have ruby and rubygems installed the following command should download and install the script: sudo gem install build-tool. This will install the gem and all required dependencies.

Cloning the repository

To clone the repository do git clone git://rubyforge.org/build-tool.git. You probably still miss some dependecies. In the root directory issue the command sudo rake check_extra_deps. This will download and install them.
