brio - CLI power tools for appdotnet¶ ↑

brio is a command line application for interfacing with appdotnet social network.

You have to make sure that you have ruby installed, version 1.9.2, 1.9.3 (the latest stable)

Note! For now it was tested only with RUby versions 1.9.2 and 1.9.3. It does not work on 1.8.7.

Once you’ve verified that Ruby is installed:

gem install brio

If you are getting a similar message to this:

SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=SSLv3 read server certificate B: certificate verify failed on error;

you will need to install some openssl packages:

$ rvm pkg install openssl  
$ rvm reinstall 1.9.3 --with-openssl-dir=$rvm_path/usr
