;repo install alvis.rb
Alvis depends on an external "gem", which are modules that add utilities to your programs.
To be able to use it, you must have installed the gem command line executable (program) that comes with Ruby,
and added it to your $PATH (a way for programs to find other programs). this is not in the default directions when installing Ruby from lichproject.org
it sounds scary; it's not, and can usually be remedied with 1 additional step when installing Ruby
type or copy this command into your front end (Stormfront, Wizard, Avalon, Profanity):
;e echo (if %x{gem install Olib}.match(/Success/) then "SUCCESS >>> go to step 4" end)
If you see SUCCESS >>> go to step 4 then go to step 4.
If you see --- Exception: No such file or directory - gem then go to step 3.
