Installing Ruby on Ubuntu Server with Mechanize gem
April 1st, 2010
I wanted to use Ruby on my server for several scripts (one of these uses the Mechanize gem). It turned out it was quite some mission to get this done. Therefore I wrote a small tutorial so you don’t have to spend so much time in finding solutions.
FYI, Mechanize is a library which simulates a browser, including history, forms etc. Quite useful for coding crawlers, but as well for automated form submitting.
