A long-lived project that still receives updates
Visualruby is a complete IDE for making graphical user interfaces with ruby. It utilizes glade interface designer to create windows, and uses a library of GUI helpers to make coding GTK+ programs easy. The IDE really helps you organize your files and your thoughts because it names your ruby files and glade files by a naming convention. You files take on the names MyClass.rb, and MyClass.glade. Then you can easily edit the GUI (glade file) by right clicking on your class's file. It also creates .gemspec files for you, then you can right-click on the .gemspec file to install it, or upload it to rubygems.org. You can also yank your gems with one click. To install goto visualruby.net!

Visual Ruby GUI Builder

Visualruby was designed specifically for rubyists who want to add a GUI to their ruby scripts. It enormously simplifies the process of adding GTK+ windows to your applications. Visualruby is completely integrated with the glade interface designer, so you only need to click on a ruby file to edit its widgets using glade.

You can create a .gemspec file, compile your gem, install your gem, or push, yank or uninstall your gem with just one mouse-click.

Install Instructions

#Linux, Ubuntu

Install a ruby version manager like rbenv or RVM. This is necessary because they will install ruby under your $HOME directory where you have permissions to install it.

to test your install of ruby, run this at the prompt:

''' which ruby '''

This should show that your version is under your home directory. Then Run:

''' gem install visualruby ''' Then run visualruby:

''' vr '''

Windows

First, download the "Windows Ruby Installer" and run it. Make sure you install the additional software so Gtk+ can be installed in that environment.

Then open the "Ruby Command Prompt" and run:

''' gem install visualruby ''' Then run the command to start visualruby:

''' vr '''
