Notes on ScopePort

You can now install the latest version of the ScopePort client via Rubygems. The gem is hosted at GitHub so you have to add GitHub as a repository first:

root@sundaysister# gem sources -a http://gems.github.com

You can now install the ScopePort client:

root@sundaysister# gem install lennartkoopmann-scopeport-client-ruby

Just start the client with “scopeport-client” if the gem binaries are in your $PATH.

Note that the current client version can only connect to a ScopePort server. It does not send real sensor data yet.

When a gem installation fails with something like “extconf.rb:1:in `require’: no such file to load” you are probably missing the ruby development packages.

On Ubuntu you can fix this by installing the ruby1.8-dev package. (sudo aptitude install ruby1.8-dev)
