How to use Ruby portable?
in [Ruby]

From: balzer on 5 May 2010 13:19 I downloaded Ruby binaries, ruby-1.8.7-p72-i386-mswin32.zip I' wondering if it's possible configure all package of Ruby environment as a "Portable App" , the idea is to have a fully-functional Ruby environment that executes entirely from hard drive (or USB stick) eaving no footprint whatsoever on the machine it's run on -- no registry entries, no configuration files, etc. If I just unzip all Ruby package into 2nd hard drive, how to run Ruby files? Should I put programs inside some of Ruby directory? Will Ruby write to registry on interact with Windows programs?

No, Ruby doesn't write any registry entries. That's beacuse Ruby IS already quite portable - it runs on nearly every OS and a Registry is quite Windows-specific. So, just unzip your Ruby wherever you want it. In order to start ruby, just do: ---------- C:\> I: I:\> ruby\bin\ruby -v ---------- or whatever drive letter your USB device gets and however the ruby directory is named.

It doesn't matter at all. Go to whatever directory and type: i:\ruby\bin\ruby myrubyprog.rb by TheR -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
