Veewee Installation

Before installing Veewee, please see the Requirements doc.

Install as a gem

The Veewee project is moving quickly and the Rubygem might be outdated. Therefore it may be wise to install Veewee from source.

$ gem install veewee

Projects that include the veewee gem can also benefit from utilizing Ruby version management (see below).

Install from source

Installing Veewee without a Ruby version manager

Installing Veewee without a Ruby version manager is NOT recommended:

$ cd <path_to_workspace>
$ git clone https://github.com/jedi4ever/veewee.git
$ cd veewee
$ gem install bundler
$ bundle install

Installing Veewee with RVM

With RVM already installed (see Requirements), ensure a ruby version that's supported by Veewee is available on your machine:

$ rvm install 1.9.2

Clone the veewee project from source:

$ cd <path_to_workspace>
$ git clone https://github.com/jedi4ever/veewee.git
$ cd veewee

Set the local gemset and ruby version within the current directory:

$ rvm use 1.9.2@veewee --create

Run bundle install to install Gemfile dependencies for our local gemset:

$ gem install bundler
$ bundle install

Installing Veewee with rbenv

With rbenv already installed (see Requirements), ensure a ruby version that's supported by Veewee is available on your machine:

$ rbenv install 1.9.2-p320
$ rbenv rehash

Clone the veewee project from source:

$ cd <path_to_workspace>
$ git clone https://github.com/jedi4ever/veewee.git
$ cd veewee

Set the local ruby version within the current directory:

$ rbenv local 1.9.2-p320
$ rbenv rehash

Run bundle install to install Gemfile dependencies for our selected ruby version:

$ gem install bundler
$ rbenv rehash
$ bundle install
$ rbenv rehash

Install from source on Windows

First, run bundle install.

Then to run veewee, use bundle exec veewee or make a powershell alias to remember for you:

function Run-Veewee { bundle exec veewee }
Set-Alias veewee Run-Veewee

Testing kvm while running from source

By default the :kvm gem group is disabled to prevent the installation of ruby-libvirt on systems that don't need it. This is done by the file .bundle/config.

If you do need it, run bundle install --without restrictions (restrictions is a dummy name). This will change the file .bundle/config, which is ignored by Git by default and must not be included in any commits. As this is a remembered option, you don't have to specify it every time. If you want to switch to the default behavior run bundle install --without kvm to enable restrictions.

Running from source and using Ruby v1.8.7

By default the :windows gem group is enabled . This loads the em-winrm gem - which is incompatible with ruby-1.8.7 because it depends on the gss-api gem. To run from source you can execut bundle install --without windows

This will change the file .bundle/config, which is ignored by Git per default and must not be included in any commits. If you want to switch to the default behavior run bundle install --without restrictions to include it
