This is a Jupyter notebook containing scripts to generate statistics over Ruby gems and plot them.
It all started with a tweet.
It's for comparing against the development of Node modules.
There is also a more general chart on numbers of packages (modules) of different programming languages.
Run the script dldump.sh to obtain and extract the database dump. Adjust accordingly for a more recent copy.
To run the scripts, you will need Python, Jupyter, pandas, and matplotlib.
If you are using conda, run conda env create to install the dependencies into an environment and then source activate ruby-gem-stats (in a Bourne-compatible shell) to activate it.
Attention: I discourage you strongly from piping shell scripts from curl etc. into a shell. On Arch Linux and other systems using pacman, you can install conda and its subtools from the AUR.
Then invoke jupyter-notebook to start the notebook server, which you can access in your web browser. You will see details in the console.
