If folks that come here have issues with the also excellent ruby-filemagic Ruby Gem, there exists ruby-magic Ruby Gem too, which has a bit more active development.
One can install it as a pre-built (native) Ruby Gem or as usual, in which case it should use bundled libmagic (as an alternative for requiring a system-wide or external one present).
