## Installing

### Using `Gemfile`

If your project uses Bundler, just include the line

```

gem 'kaitai-struct'

```

in your project's `Gemfile`.

### Using `gem install`

If you have a RubyGems package manager installed, you can use command

```

gem install kaitai-struct

```

### Manually

This library is intentionally kept as very simple, one `.rb` file.

You can just copy it to your project from [this repository](https://github.com/kaitai-io/kaitai_struct_ruby_runtime).

Usually you won't `require` it directly, it will be loaded

by Ruby source code generated by Kaitai Struct compiler.
