MagLev¶ ↑

MagLev is a fast, stable, Ruby implementation with integrated object persistence and distributed shared cache. MagLev is currently in public Alpha. If you are interested in persistent distributed Ruby objects, give it a try.

Quickstart¶ ↑

1. Install MagLev with RVM:

   rvm install maglev
   

   (or follow the more detailed instructions).

2. Setup your environment:

   export MAGLEV_HOME=<path_to_the_directory_containing_this_README>
   export PATH=$MAGLEV_HOME/bin:$PATH

3. Start the MagLev server

   $ cd $MAGLEV_HOME
   $ rake maglev:start

4. Check status of MagLev server

   $ cd $MAGLEV_HOME
   $ rake
   Status   Version    Owner    Pid   Port   Started     Type  Name
   ------- --------- --------- ----- ----- ------------ ------ ----
     OK    3.0.1     pmclain   33046 58301 Jul 19 12:31 Stone  maglev
     OK    3.0.1     pmclain   33047 58291 Jul 19 12:31 cache  maglev~d646de6d79d7b341

   If the server is not running, you’ll see output like:

   $ rake
   gslist[Info]: No GemStone servers.

5. Run some Ruby!

   $ maglev-ruby $MAGLEV_HOME/examples/hello_maglev.rb
   RUBY_VERSION:  1.8.7
   RUBY_ENGINE:   maglev
   Hello from MagLev

Then go play with the examples and read the documentation and further docs
