How do you add/install Ruby classes?

Hi everyone,

I wanted to add this class here for handling passwords:

http://www.caliban.org/ruby/ruby-password.shtml

But I don't know how to. There's nothing on that page. I searched in Google too but found nothing.

Thank in advance :slight_smile:

I too am a newbie, but I'm wondering wouldn't standard installation procedure work?

$ ruby extconf.rb $ make $ make install

and 'require' it at the beginning of your ruby program.

e.g.

require 'password'

# My ruby code goes here .. # and here .. # and here ..

Apparently I was using the wrong words. You install libraries, not classes. I found the answers, but ChaitanyaPrakash.N@gmail.com is right, the installation doesn't work. Maybe someone knoww how to fix it?

If not, since I see that the library is quite old, is there another library that can be used for password checking, generating, etc?

Thanks
