There are a number of ways that you can install xmpp4r depending on your needs and the methods you prefer.
You can install the current release of the xmpp4r library from a stable release gem on RubyForge using RubyGems:
sudo gem install xmpp4r
You can install the current release of the xmpp4r library from a stable release copy on your .deb friendly linux system (e.g. Debian or Ubuntu) using apt:
sudo apt-get install libxmpp4r-ruby
If you have a local Git clone of the source repository or a tarball you can install xmpp4r using several methods. First you’ll need to get a local copy.
Clone the Git repository (recommended):
git clone git://github.com/ln/xmpp4r.git
OR download a stable release tarball from:
http://download.gna.org/xmpp4r/xmpp4r-0.3.2.tgz
OR download a snapshot of the latest source in .tar.gz format from:
http://github.com/ln/xmpp4r/tarball/master
# Show all available rake tasks cd xmpp4r/ rake -T # Package up the gem file and install it rake gem:install
This will install a copy of the library in your Ruby path and does not require RubyGems to be installed.
cd xmpp4r/ ./setup.rb
