How do I install “Ruby Linguistics With Verb Conjugation”?

Question

I downloaded the source code for "Ruby Linguistics With Verb Conjugation".

How can I install it for usage? Do I need to compile it into some gem?

Answer 1

cd into the directory and run rake, then install the gem:

$ git clone https://github.com/bdigital/ruby_linguistics_with_verb_conjugation.git
$ cd ruby_linguistics_with_verb_conjugation
$ rake
...lots of output...
  Successfully built RubyGem
  Name: linguistics
  Version: 1.0.8
  File: linguistics-1.0.8.gem
  mv linguistics-1.0.8.gem pkg/linguistics-1.0.8.gem
$ cd pkg
$ gem install linguistics-1.0.8.gem

Done!

Answer 2

There is a Linguistics gem. Did you try gem install linguistics? If you're not running RVM you'll want to use sudo.

Answer 3

After failing to run rake on the mac, this worked on the mac:

sudo gem install linguistics 

Then, you need to run it from your script:

require "rubygems"
require "linguistics"
