The Standalone Distribution

There are three ways to install TruffleRuby, see getting started. The recommended way is GraalVM. You can also use what we call the standalone distribution of TruffleRuby, either via your Ruby manager/installer, or as a simple binary tarball.

Releases of the standalone distribution are available on GitHub.

The standalone distributions are the files:

truffleruby-VERSION-linux-amd64.tar.gz
truffleruby-VERSION-macos-amd64.tar.gz

Testing TruffleRuby in TravisCI

TruffleRuby is now integrated in TravisCI. Just add truffleruby in the build matrix, such as:

language: ruby
rvm:
  - 2.6.1
  - truffleruby

See https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/languages/ruby#truffleruby for details. Please report any issue you might find while testing with TruffleRuby.

Testing TruffleRuby in CI

If you use another continuous integration system, you can follow these instructions to run TruffleRuby in CI.

In short, one only needs to download and extract the archive, add it to PATH and run the post-install script.

Set TRUFFLERUBY_VERSION to the latest TruffleRuby version from GitHub releases.

$ export TRUFFLERUBY_VERSION=<desired_version>
$ export TRUFFLERUBY_RESILIENT_GEM_HOME=true
$ curl -L https://github.com/oracle/truffleruby/releases/download/vm-$TRUFFLERUBY_VERSION/truffleruby-$TRUFFLERUBY_VERSION-linux-amd64.tar.gz | tar xz
$ export PATH="$PWD/truffleruby-$TRUFFLERUBY_VERSION-linux-amd64/bin:$PATH"
$ $PWD/truffleruby-$TRUFFLERUBY_VERSION-linux-amd64/lib/truffle/post_install_hook.sh
$ ruby -v # => truffleruby 1.0.0, like ruby x.y.z, GraalVM CE Native [x86_64-linux]

Note that you also need to ensure GEM_HOME and GEM_PATH are not set, so TruffleRuby uses the correct GEM_HOME and GEM_PATH. This is the reason for export TRUFFLERUBY_RESILIENT_GEM_HOME=true above. See Using TruffleRuby without a Ruby manager for details.

Dependencies

TruffleRuby's dependencies need to be installed for TruffleRuby to run correctly.
