2 Installation

Rscons is designed to be distributed as a stand-alone single file script that can be copied into and versioned in a project's source tree. The only requirement to run Rscons is that the system has a Ruby interpreter installed. The latest release can be downloaded from https://github.com/holtrop/rscons/releases. Simply copy the rscons executable script into the desired location within the project to be built (typically the root of the repository) and mark it executable.
