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*.

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

Diego
