Hi, MacRuby installs itself inside a .framework bundle, in /Library/ Frameworks. It installs aliases to the executables in /usr/local/bin. Aliases have the "mac" prefix (irb -> macirb) to make sure MacRuby will not conflict with your system. So, no system file is modified during installation. If you want to remove MacRuby after, you can simply delete /Library/Frameworks/ MacRuby.framework and /usr/local/bin/mac*. Laurent On Oct 8, 2009, at 9:38 AM, Diego Virasoro wrote:

Hello, I'd like to try MacRuby (especially now that 0.5 beta 1 is out). However I really really _really_ like to avoid having programs spread their files across my fs. So, the questions are: 1) Is it possible to install macruby inside a specified directory? 2) Are any other files modified (say the .profile to extend the $PATH, or others)? 3) Especially if the answer to 1) is negative, is there a script file to erase/uninstall macruby?

Thanks and congrats for an awsome project
