Ruby Packer (rubyc) compiles Ruby applications, including Rails apps and native C extensions, into a single self-contained executable for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It requires no code changes and bundles the Ruby interpreter and dependencies using SquashFS.

Use cases

  • package a ruby script into a single executable
  • distribute a rails app as one binary
  • compile ruby app with native c extensions into standalone binary
  • ship ruby cli tool without requiring ruby installed
  • create cross-platform ruby executables for windows macos linux

When to avoid

  • your app depends on gems like bootsnap that use libc IO to load files
  • you need DTrace support on macOS or Linux
  • you need actively maintained tooling with recent Ruby version support
