Installing JRuby with Intellij (OS X)

There is a download page, download and exract the tar file somehwere.

I put it in /System/Library/Frameworks/JRuby.framework/jruby-1.5.1

I then created a symbolic link to jruby_current

ln -s jruby-1.5.1/ jruby_current

And then simply add it to my ~/.bash_profile

$vi ~/.bash_profile
export PATH=/System/Library/Frameworks/JRuby.framework/jruby_current/bin:$PATH
#Reload the profile…
$. ~/.bash_profile
#Try out jruby…
$jruby -v
jruby 1.5.1 (ruby 1.8.7 patchlevel 249) (2010-06-06 f3a3480) (Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 1.6.0_17) [x86_64-java]

Now you can add the JRuby SDK to your Java Module in Intellij:

Now you can have ruby and Java in the same project. Awesome.

Including lib dirs in rubymate when running tests…

RubyMate the ruby plugin for TextMate has a nice feature where it will run your tests for you when you press option-R.

If you want it to add your library and test directories in for you , simply edit the command in the bundle editor. There is an option for RUBYLIB there where you just add say “../lib” and “../test” as appropriate.
