What's the simplest way to use ActiveResource in ruby (without rails)?

rubyonrails-talk

I would like to use this class in a standalone project, but I have been unsuccessful thus far. Also, how does this class exactly communicate with the web server? Thank you.

class Person < ActiveResource::Base   self.site = "http://localhost:3000/&quot; end

Look at the docs: http://api.rubyonrails.org/

and specifically: ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection()

  ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection(     :adapter => "mysql",     :host => "localhost",     :username => "myuser",     :password => "mypass",     :database => "somedatabase"   )

Thank you for the response, but I am looking for ActiveResource and not ActiveRecord. ActiveResource is the REST component of Rails.
