2 Installing Rice

Rice itself does not need to be installed. Rice depends upon four other Ruby modules that need to be installed; one of those is optional. To install these modules,

• Retrieve NQXML, erb, and WEBrick from the Ruby Application Archive (http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/raa.html). Optionally retrieve RubyUnit from the same place. RUnit is only used for the scripts in the tests directory.

• Install these modules by running their install.rb scripts. The module erb must be installed before WEBrick. You may need to be root in order to have the proper privileges required to install them.

Finally, run the script setup.rb, which will create a temp directory if necessary.
