AllInOneRuby creates a compressed executable file for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X platforms, making it easier to distribute Ruby programs on multiple operating systems.
If you struggle with installing Ruby completely, AllInOneRuby offers a compressed executable for Windows, Linux, or Mac OS X. This tool comprises both the interpreter and the runtime libraries, conveniently saving you from the hassle of a full Ruby installation. AllInOneRuby comes in handy if installing Ruby isn't easy, possible, desirable, or allowed.
This software is portable and can easily be carried around on a USB memory stick. When AllInOneRuby fetches files from your Ruby installation, it creates an executable for the platform it's being run on, without cross compilation. This feature saves you from the trouble of finding a suitable installer for each platform.
AllInOneRuby supports both Windows (RubyInstaller, MinGW, and MSWin32) and Cygwin. However, the considerably large size of Cygwin's executable files and the inclusion of cygwin1.dll limit its compatibility.
RubyScript2Exe, an alternative to AllInOneRuby, includes an application and only parts of the rubylib tree required for that app. In contrast, AllInOneRuby is a complete Ruby installation, including the full rubylib tree, excluding any specific application.
Consequently, AllInOneRuby can be used like Ruby with allinoneruby.exe on Windows and allinoneruby_* on Linux and Darwin. It provides a more comprehensive approach, where the executable generates an application, while the one generated with AllInOneRuby "is" Ruby.
The latest version of AllInOneRuby has enhanced security features. It removes the "Insecure world writable dir" error, ensuring a safer experience. Overall, AllInOneRuby is a versatile, portable, and convenient tool that can be of use in various situations.
