Installing PageTemplate

How to get and install the Ruby PageTemplate library

We have tried to make installing PageTemplate as easy as possible. There are three basic ways to install PageTemplate:

With RubyGems
With Rake
Manually

With RubyGems

This is by far the easiest approach.

 gem install pagetemplate

See? Okay, you might need to use sudo if you are on a UNIX-y machine, but that’s still not too hard.

You can download the gem from the PageTemplate project page and install with your local copy it if that’s your preference:

 gem install -l PageTemplate-x.y.z.gem

With Rake

Download the archived file from the PageTemplate project page. Extract the file into a convenient location and enter the top-level directory.

$ rake
$ rake test
$ sudo rake install

Manually

Download the archived file from the PageTemplate project page. Extract the file into a convenient location and enter the top-level directory.

$ sudo ruby setup.rb

You can also install files into your favorite directory by supplying setup.rb some options. Try ruby setup.rb --help. Since we don’t really know how setup.rb works, we’ve included the English-language version of the setup usage file in the archive. Enjoy.
