Installation

Reek is available as a Ruby gem, hosted on both GemCutter and Rubyforge. So the simplest way to install the latest official release is:

gem install reek

This is a good time to get familiar with Reek’s Command-Line Options.

Building the Gem yourself

Get Reek’s latest source code from Git:

git clone git://github.com/kevinrutherford/reek.git
cd reek
rake install_gem

Older versions

Reek’s project page on Rubyforge (http://rubyforge.org/projects/reek) lists all previous releases, in case you get nostalgic.
