Test locally

Local testing needs a working install of ruby (version 2.3 or greater).

• For Windows environments the Ruby Installer project is a great project; install Ruby 2.3.1 (x64) and DevKit-mingw64-64-4.7.2-20130224-1432-sfx.exe.
• Mac comes with ruby installed, but it might not be a recent version. Test the version with ruby --version. If it is too old, use rvm to install the new version. This command will install rvm and use it to install the latest ruby \curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --ruby. For details see How to Install Ruby on Mac OS X with RVM.

As of 2018 you may need to install MSYS2 as well for Windows environments: https://msys2.github.io/
