Install JRuby

The driver for connecting to Data Warehouse is available only as a JDBC driver. No native library in Ruby is available.

Steps:

  1. Install Ruby. We recommend that you use the Ruby Version Manager (RVM).  If you don’t have the RVM installed, visit Installing RVM

  2. Install the Java-based implementation of Ruby onto your local machine:

    $ rvm install jruby
    
  3. Switch to the installed version of JRuby:

    $ rvm use jruby
    
  4. (Optional) Make JRuby your default Ruby environment:

    $rvm --default use jruby
    

    To restore the original Ruby system as your default, use the following command:

    $rvm use system
    
  5. Verify your installed version of Ruby:

    $ ruby -v
    

    The output looks like the following:
