Installing Ronin on Arch
Copy/Paste Instructions
sudo pacman -Sy --noconfirm gcc make community/ruby readline sqlite
sudo gem install ronin --pre
Detailed Breakdown
Build Dependencies
First we will need to install gcc and make. These are required to install gems which contain C extensions (aka C bindings) to other C libraries, such as the sqlite3 gem which compiles against libsqlite3.
sudo pacman -Sy --noconfirm gcc make
Ruby
Next, we will need to install Ruby >= 3.0.0, which should already be available in your system’s package manager.
sudo pacman -Sy --noconfirm community/ruby
C libraries
Then, we will need to install various C libraries which are used by some of the Ruby gems, such as libsqlite3 which is required by the sqlite3 gem.
sudo pacman -Sy --noconfirm readline sqlite
Ronin
Now that everything else is installed, it is time to install Ronin!
sudo gem install ronin --pre
Postinstall
Assuming no errors occur, you should now be able to run ronin
:
ronin help
Troubleshooting
