Download rb-mperio

Also available on GitHub.

Installation

Supported Ruby versions are 1.8.6, 1.8.7, and 1.9.x. For Ubuntu and Debian Linux, be sure to also install the Ruby development packages to get Ruby headers necessary to build Ruby C extensions.

If you install Ruby 1.8.6 or 1.8.7, also install RubyGems (a Ruby package manager) after installing Ruby. Check whether you have RubyGems by executing 'gem list' in a shell window (which should run without error if you do).

If you need to install RubyGems (the package manager) manually, download the latest version (rubygems-x.x.x.tgz) from https://rubygems.org/pages/download/ and install it with: 

        $ tar xvzf rubygems-x.x.x.tgz 
	$ cd rubygems-x-x-x
        $ sudo ruby setup.rb

Now install rb-mperio with 

        $ sudo gem install rb-mperio-x.x.x.gem
Confirm installation with 'gem list' (no sudo required), which should show rb-mperio.

Dependencies

You must install and run the mper probing engine in order to execute measurements with rb-mperio.
