Compile Ruby apps with Tebako

When I started building Terminalwire, I decided to build it out using Ruby since that’s where I’m most productive and it keeps getting better and faster with every release. I also knew that put me on a path where I’d have to confront the reality that Ruby is notoriously difficult to distribute to users who don’t have Ruby dependencies installed on their machines, which I wrote about last week. Fortunately, I found a project called Tebako, which can compile Ruby applications into concise binaries that run on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Let’s take a look at how Tebako works in practice for the Terminalwire Client to help you get a better idea of how you might start using it in your Ruby projects.
