uprb

uprb is a Ruby script packer.

It builds a single executable from a Ruby script and freezes how it runs.
The output is meant to be fast to start and deterministic.
It also aims to make a script easier to use as a single command by fixing
its runtime library paths at pack time.

This tool does not produce native binaries. It assumes a Ruby interpreter
is already installed and runs the packed script with that Ruby.

Usage

Pack a script into a single executable:

uprb pack path/to/script.rb path/to/output

Options:

• --skip-iseq-cache: keep plain Ruby output instead of ISeq payload
• --enable-rubygems: do not pass --disable-gems to Ruby

Pack executables from an installed gem:

uprb gem pack GEM_NAME

Options:

• --skip-iseq-cache
• --enable-rubygems
• --path DIR: install packed executables into this directory

Install a gem and pack its executables:

uprb gem install GEM_NAME

Options:

• --skip-iseq-cache
• --enable-rubygems
• --path DIR: install executables into this directory

Install

gem install uprb
