====== Install Raakt ======
Installing Raakt is easy. First, make sure you have [[http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/|Ruby]] installed. Raakt is distributed as a Ruby gem.

To install the raakt gem in Microsoft Windows, open a command window and type:

  gem install raakt

To install the raakt gem in Mac OS X or Linux type:

  sudo gem install raakt

The latest version of the Raakt gem will be downloaded. Please note that Raakt depends on [[http://code.whytheluckystiff.net/hpricot/|Hpricot]] which will be installed too.

From here you may want to try [[examples:commandline|calling Raakt from the command line]] with a simple script to test remote websites.

===== Installing in Jruby =====

If you want to use Raakt from JRuby you will need to install a special version of Hpricot before installing Raakt. See the the [[frameworks:htmlunit#install-hpricot-and-raakt-for-jruby|setup instructions for using Raakt in HTMLUnit]] for more details.
