h2.  Installing Buildr

The easiest way to install Buildr is using the fabulous RubyGems package
manager.  Of course, you will need either Ruby or JRuby, and we recommend
upgrading to the most recent version of RubyGems.  If this sounds foreign to
you, don't worry.  We'll show you how to install Buildr on Linux, OS/X, Windows
and JRuby in the "Getting Started guide":getting_started.html, we even provide
automated installation scripts.

The *official Apache distribution* consists of the digitally signed binaries
(gems) and source packages "available below":#binaries_and_source_code.  To
install these binaries, you must first download them to disk and then install
them using the @gem install@ command (or @rake install@ for a source
distribution).

In addition, contributors to this project maintain a separate distribution over
on "RubyForge":http://rubyforge.org/projects/buildr.  Using this distribution,
you're able to install Buildr directly from the remote gem repository and to
automatically upgrade when a new release comes out.  The RubyForge distribution
is *not* an official Apache distribution.
