Packing your Ruby application into a single executable.

OCRA (One-Click Ruby Application) builds Windows executables from Ruby source code. The executable is a self-extracting, self-running executable that contains the Ruby interpreter, your source code and any additionally needed ruby libraries or DLL.

Tebako is an executable packager. It packages a set of files into a single executable binary that allows a user to run a selected file from the packaged software as if it is a mounted filesystem.

A portable MRI Ruby environment and toolset

Ruby to EXE - Turn ruby scripts into portable executable apps

OCRAN (One-Click Ruby Application Next) packages Ruby applications for distribution. It bundles your script, the Ruby interpreter, gems, and native libraries into a self-contained artifact that runs without requiring Ruby to be installed on the target machine. Three output formats are supported on all platforms: - Self-extracting executable (.exe on Windows, native binary on Linux/macOS) - Directory with a launch script (--output-dir) - Zip archive with a launch script (--output-zip) This is a fork of OCRA maintained for Ruby 3.2+ compatibility. Migration guide: replace OCRA_EXECUTABLE with OCRAN_EXECUTABLE in your code. Usage: ocran helloworld.rb # builds helloworld.exe / helloworld ocran --output-dir out/ app.rb ocran --output-zip app.zip app.rb See readme at https://github.com/largo/ocran Report problems at https://github.com/largo/ocran/issues

Jam a gem into a universal binary that works with any ruby

Releasy helps to make Ruby application releases simpler, by creating and archiving source folders, Windows folders, standalone executables, installers and OS X app bundles.

A Ruby Compiler

Crate is a developer tool to help package up your application as a custom static build of the ruby interpreter plus all dependent binary extensions. All the pure ruby code (the ruby application, the ruby stdlib, etc ) is packed into one or more SQLite databases. The final distributable pieces are a single executable and a few SQLite databases which can be then wrapped up appropriately as an OS X App; a self extracting executable for Windows; a shar archive, rpm or tarball for Unixes.
